I run a 40T but have an MRP, have clipped the lower roler a couple of times but other than that it's been fine

I heard Chumba's SPonsorship program is pretty good. And has anyone seen a broken F5 Frame?

yupp... the boys at Chumba defintiely know how to make you feel taken cared of... Walter and Darren took my bike back with them when i crashed and broke my clavicle 6 weeks ago... They've worked on it, rebuilt the fork, etc... Those guys are awesome...

And no, i've never seen one break. Chumba has a record of very low failures... You're not goign to break one... trust me...


I havent heard such good things about the frames, and I own a vf2 and an F5 and i broke both of the rear triangles

does anyone know if the smaller dog bone for the f5 shortens the travil or just slackens and lowers the bike?
cheers

build quality on chumba's seam brilliant in my experience ive got a old zulu i put though hell again and again (its done the mega avalanche a few times) just to see if i can break it and its still going strong and my evo just feels as good as the day i got it

My Evo breaks hangers more than anything I have ever ridden, anything touches that der and its almost a gaurantee that thing will bust. Anyone else notice that?

3.3 and 3.5, And yeah the smaller makes it higher and steeper. I'll be getting an f5 frame this week, gonna get it off to the powdercoaters and then get it built up! I've heard mine will come with a couple custom pieces, I'll post pics up when I get it!
