looks good, but will it blend?

your headtube's going to fall off!!

Kevin858 (Apr 14, 2013 at 15:49)

Hah no way

Kop5 (Apr 20, 2013 at 16:48)

I think it will! Aluminum frame w/ rigid= BAD IDEA!

Kevin858 (Apr 20, 2013 at 22:59)

I've ridden this for over a year hard-no cracks or anything...what about all those aluminum BMX frames?

skunkape (Apr 21, 2013 at 20:12)

Those are race frames...

Kevin858 (Apr 22, 2013 at 17:06)

Most are, but they are still subject to hard hits. These frames are stronger than you might think...

I have seen quite a few cracked/snapped amps actually...

Kop5 (Apr 22, 2013 at 18:30)

like this one, it's not on the headtube but still, just proving the point.

Kop5, since this is fact based...what is your opinion on this frame? Have you personally ridden one, and if so, did you crack it?

Ok fine, the frames can crack, but by that reasoning I should just get a fully so my chain stays don't fall off either.

skunkape (Apr 23, 2013 at 19:59)

No, but aluminum frames and rigids aren't recommended, as well this a2c isn't recommended and will void your warranty.

Kevin858 (Apr 23, 2013 at 21:46)

The warranty says nothing about what type of fork you should run...nothing at all. And recommended by whom, people on pinkbike or manufacturers who have presumably done some sort of analysis?

Kop5 (Apr 24, 2013 at 4:54)

oh well just let him lose the headtube, it's not my bike
