It has to be 2 thin. Dude i live and learned. Super thin/light frames are meant to die quicker. I could have been more careful... But biking is about rocks and pushing limits. Remember this happened on a dirt pile. I never tought i was taking a chance there. That being said thin garbage aint for me. Tr450 should keep my smile up for longer then a year

do you think it happened because the alu is too thin ??? like the session frame ??? it has to be a light frame ??? I'm afraid of shit like this, I like too think that when I'm heading thru a rough section, my bike won't fold on itself...I did something like that to one of my chainstays when I was in Nelson...the bike was a SC and the hit was hard enough but I never thought it would do that kind of damage...got a new frame after complaining some...
