Not too sure about this. It's sick that you can slam your wheel more, but I'm not sure how the frame will hold up (that gusset is there for a reason)

joostflux (Mar 4, 2011 at 10:47)

I've seen plenty of people do this and this is my thrash frame, so I'm not too worried about it.

spongebomb (Mar 4, 2011 at 10:48)

okay cool. if it's a trash frame than yeah why not try it

joostflux (Mar 4, 2011 at 10:49)

My reasoning exactly

DirtRebel (Mar 4, 2011 at 11:04)

So dialled.

DirtRebel (Mar 4, 2011 at 11:05)

BTW I want a "trash frame" like dat

LOL

joostflux (Mar 4, 2011 at 12:00)

Thrash frame. But yea, it's pretty cool to be able to do this stuff and not care.

haha spongebomb didn't get the H either.. just because we're from europe doesn't mean we're french

see if you can't get someone to fashion you a curved brace (or a shorter brace) and weld that sucker on. This brace gets all its strength from the fact that it is a tube. Once you cut it like this, the brace loses almost all of its strength, now it basically has the strength of a piece of sheet metal.

Thanks man, I'm looking into getting a curved brace welded by a local frame company (Solid) and they said they could do it for a couple bucks or a six pack, so either way I'm sorted

street as fuck.

this makes me so insanely happy

nouser (Mar 4, 2011 at 10:45)

f*ck yes. I always wondered if this takes away any strength?

joostflux (Mar 4, 2011 at 10:48)

I'm sure it does, but I can't see it being that much. Especially because I see bikes with bridges WAY wimpier than this even with the cut out.

nouser (Mar 4, 2011 at 10:58)

yeah man trew, deity frames have a measily bridge so i cant see it really doing that much. We'll always find out if it starts to crumple, but even then its STREET STEEEEEEZ

What else is a guy to do on a Friday morning?

danthecarlover (Mar 5, 2011 at 2:06)

. slammed as can be now?

joostflux (Mar 5, 2011 at 9:04)

With a Mac2 but sadly my 1.9 SB8 won't fit without a half-link at the moment. Hopefully my DTH to be will be better.

danthecarlover (Mar 5, 2011 at 18:20)

tell me how it works out when it arrives (Y)

joostflux (Mar 5, 2011 at 18:30)

Will do.
