Exactly, theres a large lack of material around the spindle hole thing. I think after I give it a few cranks, it would just shear right off.
I deffinatly agree there. It does look heavily machined out. Which is good to save weight, without loosing strength, but in this case, it looks like there wouldn't be any strength behind it.

Since this is also BMX News and such, Metal is now being made in the same factory as WTP. It's somewhat old news, but some of you may have not read it...

Metal Bikes.
*Edit- Beaten to it.

So this means they're made in Taiwan now instead of the USA, right?

Too bad. Did they switch for the money or did S&M decide to stop making frames and parts for them?

I really do not know. There is a interview up somewhere on TCU and the metal site and such I think which explains some reason to as why they did.

This also means they will be cheaper, according to Mr. Burns.

He also said that they will be able to have a larger line of products. I think S&M was already really busy with Fit or something like that.
