 Ehhh I use PB more for pic storage and IM sure stuff gets snagged. Hes not irritated hell Intense wont be open till monday and I know they have great CS so hes not put out too bad. $hit happens when we ride its why we wear helmets! Big Grin

 NO ideas as to what Intense will say but Stebber and R are pretty damn cool about stuff so I dont see it being an issue. I did see another thread with the frame broke in the exact same spot on a 951 as well. Looks to be a spot with a weakness, No speculation though. Ill talk to Mike this afternoon but guaranteed it wasnt a drop or huck, Mike doesnt huck more racing than anything.

 No bars and fork are straight I disassembled it an hour ago so it can be figured out. It was a mid size rock garden at table rock, he went to pull the front up to blow through the line and said literally as soon as the front hit he heard a snap and the fork didnt get a chance to compress as well as the front wheel has no hits in it and the downtube has tire tracks from the wheel. Hes a fair bit shaken up, a littel eery now but ehh it happens and he'll get over it quick.

 I don't know if it just me (or the pic) but the fork look to be bent backwards. And the h-bar is in pieces (or at least L-bent), so it looks for me like a big boom Blank Stare

 No, cold weather wont effect the materials properties enough unless its sub zero!! It was 50 yesterday anywase so it wasnt that cold. Dont know though its just one of those things that happens, good news hes walking and didnt lawn dart a rock.
