mm, not idea but just chucking out ideas, any chance was lose and had some movement and on a hard landing buggered it? Or even looks like it's not s'posed to be that close to the other side? Was there like a shim that went between it?
Definitely over tightened them I say .You dont need that much torque on them. I did a similar goof on my marz fork and cracked the bolt and nut . Hopefully the warranty will cover the lowers. Then next time just snug them down. .You shouldn't have to tighten them past 90 inch pounds at the most .
Yeah . I know . but like I mentioned on the 24 thread if the axle is too thin ( manitou's fault not your's ) Then it places te drop out in a compromised position . Causing stress to a section that otherwise in the correct position would take a lot more .
go blame it on the fork as 2 people (including you) on pinkbike have been stupid enough to tighten them that hard... accept you have and stop blaming it on the fork
i said i don't ride street you fucking idiot and i only ride street when i do around my bit with is grass hips,curbs,flack at grass banks.now lets be honest even on that i am a shit ton better than you . and chain stays don't change it the sub is a 26 frame you fucktard .
This is a fault that Manipoo's have had for years. You don't need to crank them up too tight to do this. Granted, this was probably still overdone, but it shouldn't happen. You would think manitou would learn after a few years, but no.
Anyway, end this stupid argument.
