Do you know anything about engineering?

yeh quite a lot actually
why, do you think, have no other good bike companies adopted this design in the 20 years since mountain bikes were first being built?
is it just some revolutionary design whereby reducing the amount of welding in the headtube somehow makes it stronger?
probably not.

do YOU know anything about engineering?

at the end of the day, you still bought a norco

what did you buy?
or did mummy and daddy buy it for you?

An Intense, and all my own money, which is good considering im 15

how does someone who is 15 manage to be able to afford an intense?
have you been working since you were 11 or something?

No

I design websites and logos for people, im also rather good at swapping things..

well you don't know much about engineering and geometry either!there is actually a longer weld if you do the math and it's a great idea!

well that was really well explained

"no other good bike companies adopted this design in the 20 years since mountain bikes were first being built?"
Scott had somehow samekind of design in their DH bikes... Never seen or heard them snapping :S

ok so thats one (not so good) bike company...

How is scott not a good company? They are the biggest brand in europe and they pump out a quality bicycle like you wouldn't believe. My scott gambler kills it.

liveless: Scott's headtube design on the gambler allows for head angle adjustment, unlike the norco.

well then i explain: the shortest distance between two points is a line but as you can see this weld goes on a triangles two sides and uniting the two sides of the weld too, so it's much longer and thats why the stress is distributed on a longer distance which means a longer durability

and Scott made something like this but even funkyer around the year 2001 on the "high ocate" but i saw many of them cracked really badly there.

lol i told you so

scott is shit

yup since that was almost 8 years ago i guess that's a valid point?
