Yeah thats my old sweet dog, She's in another pic also. She's a Katahula or as other said a Mountain Cur. Very sweet, smart, and quiet dog. She's a retired trail dog these days but loves to watch.

@WRCDH: This x1000!! As someone who used to travel the country training aerospace companies how to properly perform different types of adhesive bonding, I can say you are 100% accurate in your analysis. The frame failure is similar to what happens when too much primer is used, surface contamination (silicone), or lack of basic surface prep (one could argue all of these are examples of). Pivot said they believe the failure was the material used to limit corrosion. Amazingly it sounds like they didnt do lap shear testing of various material, thicknesses, and surface prep. Or if they did, it sounds like they need to update process and procedures for the technicians. Ultimately, this is just an example of new engineering, failures happen and we learn. Glad Kerr is not hurt, want to see this bad ass get the #1win !!!

So I used to use insert. Stopped a few seasons ago. Just run proper casing and pressure for terrain. Also check psi every ride. All my old inserts are just collecting dust in the garage now.
