I know quite a few guys who're really good and rarely break anything. When people boast about breaking loads of wheels or handlebars or whatever it's normally either because they're overweight or a hack.

redone some parts after a few spills

There is not a single component on that bike that I would have chosen myself lol


Bike is fine in terms of the spec, will probably ride good enough, but way too many colors and barely any of them match. Should have tried to stick to two colors.


I tried to like this bike... But none of the greens and blues match (apart from the cranks and the grip collars). The way you've tried to go with a green rim with blue spokes and a blue rim with green spokes hasn't worked. Looks tacky as hell. The white chain and white brake hose combo is a crime. Massive chainring accentuates horrible white chain, drawing further attention to the crime you have committed. Also twin rail tires are heavy and nasty why would you buy them?


I give you props on the lowered totem though, which looks sick to be fair to you.


4/10 would not bang

You can't be weighing very much - probably why you don't taco wheels.

How have you broken your previous frames?

You've probably had a couple badly made frames - poor welds, dodgy tubing or whatever. I bet a few of those frames were second hand aswell.


Plus you ride a fair amount and try a lot of spins and stuff - so naturally you will break frames after a while

Lets not forget that as much as henry was an ass on pb before , he actually rides his bikes. Alot. So that may be the reason his stuff break. I mean , i ride like once a month and we only have 4 riding months HAHAH no wonder my parts rarely fails ! Henry rides like everyday and learns tons of new tricks.

Yeah - I did credit that he rides a fair amount.


I ride my bike twice a week, but I don't really push myself more than once I month or something when I actually go ride some jumps. Most of the time it's just pissing about.


Milford dirt jumps are being rebuilt and my local jumps should be riding now it's dried up too - so I should get a fair amount of riding in this summer. Problem for UK dirt jumpers is that it's wet as fuark too much of the time.

all new frames that are usually thought tho be good, 2 24 players, a black market contraband, a capital 24 and a capital 26. None of those lasted more than 6 months from new

I don't put much faith by dartmoor frames, a few of my mates have bought some shit frames from Dartmoor.

One guy bought a queenie and the brake mount cracked within a few days, so he sent it back for warranty and got a new one which had some dodgy looking weld next to the seat tube. That cracked too.

Then another guy had a cody, wasn't getting on with it too well and so bought a 26 player - when it arrived and he put his wheel in slammed against the dropouts and the wheel was pointing off at an angle because one chainstay was legit like 10mm longer than the other.

The others are surprising though. I guess it's just the volume of abuse is breaking them. Do you run high tire pressure?

Some people just break weird shit, I have a knack for killing handle bars chains and tires(casing tears and such). Then there is cr who breaks damn near everything.
