NO MY FRIEND MIGHT BUY THE SUMMIT!lol save it for my friend pcd…
i guess thats a torker for ya…
hmmm this is the one im planning on getting, if mine does that shit, im gonna crack some skulls
just take it easy
anyways for the price of replacing the frame with a nimbus II one i cant complain. torkebus is a machine
nice
wait, the first link to a pic u posted was an 05 DX and the second was an 06 DX. Which one was yours?
A poor weld would crack through the weld, and it appears that you’ve torn off into the sheet metal, too. My guess is fatigue. That seat post is anchored in a single flat plane, (the flat top of the crown) which is going to flex when you’re hitting it hard off of a drop, or putting off axis stress on the frame.
If Torker were to add a layer of metal across the curved portion of the underside of the crown, and weld the seat tube to this as well, (like a lot of bicycle fork crowns) I think that would make a world of difference. In any case, it definitely appears that some sort of gussetting is needed here!
it is the '06. i was using the '05 damage to illustrate what i had done to my '06
yes, i tore thru the “sheet metal” after the initial crack (was rather large after a tiny hop) just to have some fun with my destroyed frame
gotcha.
