that sucks time for a world cup

it accutaly is a world cup

oh then time for a new one

hell.

its POD u num-nut

nice call mate

do they have waranty ?

ya. Its being fixxed now

shitluck

gfisher270, it wouldnt make a difference if it was a world cup or a team

i know i was just saying it time for a new one

All forks break, he could have gone head first into a tree going very fast.. they arent designed to withstand that.

well i didnt go head first into anything so.......i think your wrong

What happened?

I just meant that people would see this and think 'oh all the new boxxers break!' etc. The usual.

yeah most of the time its BS what they say.., but i've seen to many boxxers break at exactly that point of the arch to say it's all the riders foult.

how?

Ever thought of it as there are ten times the ammount of boxxers out there than any other dh fork, thus you see more broken boxxers.

it happened out at the us nationals on one of the hip jumps, nothing that a fork shouldnt handle

There are more Sram owned components (Rockshox, Sram, Truvativ, Avid) then any other. That said, I have had more problems with Sram then any other product, so I simply won't buy there stuff, even if I can drop a few pounds by doing so, its just not worth it.

That said Holzfeller cranks are nice, but I still hate Truvative BB's.... not tapered to my knowledge.

i mean srams a great company, i wouldnt do anything to put them down. but i fork shouldnt do you dirty like that

No they are a good company, but myself I choose to avoid them where possible, cause they are one of the few company's I've ever really had troubles with. But thats just my experience. Not saying they don't know what they are doing, they try to hard to keep cost down i think.

For me, shimano is WAYYYY under sram.

srm are pretty good, i love avid brakes but my god truvativ cranks SUCK

*sram

probably got a bubble in the mix. causes that to happen on alot of stuff.

tbh i think its best that people see these forks are breaking, saves us all trips to the hospital and it saves the old bank account

ALL forks break, not everything ever made is perfect.

but when you pay 1000 for a set of forks they shouldnt brake doing a god damn hip

the manufacturing process isn't perfect in any company. high end forks snap, ferraris break down. So far this is the first 2010 boxxer snap i've seen on here (maybe second) and for the amount of people buying them, that's not bad at all. plus, he's getting warranty, so what's the problem?

emmm the problem is his fork broke and thats bad shit. So if u bought a ferrari and it broke down in the first year youd just say ahh its cool i mean the manufacturing wasnt perfect. dont think so

that's not my point. Things break it's a fact of life. Yeah it would be irritating if it happened but it's covered by the warranty. do a quick search on here and you'll find broken 888's etc too, does that make them all crap?

yeah but the 888's might have been on something more challenging than a hip jump?

how do you know? EVERY manufacturing process has faults, marzocchi and fox included. Probably about one in 1000 boxxers break like this, you're an idiot.

im sorry can you read i said MIGHT, and yeah if there is a manufacturing fault then 99% of the time there is a major recall of products,

you still aren't getting this are you? the production line cannot be completely foolproof unless you test EVERY single product or have them custom made by hand. It's not a recurring fault and they don't need recalling. How many broken 2010 boxxers have you seen? you're just another person jumping on the "O LOOK ANOTHER BROKEN BOXXER THEY SUCK LOLOLOLOL" bandwagon, without taking in account the figures. They may have had some dodgy years a few years back where maybe a few too many broke, but barely any of the 2010 ones have broken. If anything marzocchi are having some major quality control issues recently having been bought out by suntour.

whatever dude, i don't care that much tbh

You should have stopped trying to back your points and saying stupid shit long ago then...

- spongosauras - "So if u bought a ferrari and it broke down in the first year youd just say ahh its cool" haha mate... they really do. It's something you accept when you buy a lot of sports cars/supercars (especially italian ones)

omgomgomg.

i have a kona.

FML.

rolto: haha especially an alfa, it's a given

LOOL yup
people still love them though, cause they're nice to drive!

i dont think this is the same fork dude

the peoples faces in that picture are classic.

quote alexkona... "haha, quality, i don't wanna be the one going "oh i'm so shocked that another fork has broke, they're all shit" "



well thats pretty much what you've said, just with more writing.

But under the right circumstances more forks will break, for example i know someone who just blow out their fox 40s.

fair enough then, but there's no denying boxxers are more known to be looking like this than some fox 40's

there are way more boxxers out there than there are 40s; ever thought of that?

Alexkona should shut the f*ck up, screw all boxxers have broken like this.

damn straight

what are u talking about? my frame is fine

my bad, i though the video was you crashing

that's not the crown...

Arch/crown what ever doesn't matter its still a broken boxxer.

ya. You'd think a state of the art DH fork wouldn't do that, unless someone was doing something stupid on it

Well when you think about it, RS has what seems to have always been weak lowers. I mean come one i've seen more pictures of Snapped boxxers then All other companies combined. The should redesign the Lowers, Namely just the Arch.

Come on i've seen more pictures of boxxers then All other companies combined. think a moment...

People have been asking for lighter products for a long time now. Companies are bringing out products to meet that demand. They break more often, of course (it's 6 pound DC fork for god's sake) but they are selling like hotcakes and that, from the company's standpoint, is basically the only thing that matters.
However, I think every Boxxer that I have seen broken did so in that in that exact spot- either 1) they had a bad production run with air bubbles getting in there somehow, 2) they just need to suck it up and put 100g more material on the arch or 3) do nothing, they are selling like mad and doing a few more warranties is cheaper than redesigning it anyway.
My '10 team has been good so far (not great) but even after some substantial crashes and scrapes on the lowers it is going strong.
