I'm done buying Clarks pads .. Cheap yes, efficient, no. So far mines have been reliable, but after seeing that, it's like with superstar pads, no thanks
 |

Why didn't he warrantied the frame avec the first crack ? Even out of the warranty period, you should always try that.
|
|
|
Doesn't look too bad for a 29er I'll have to admit.
|
|
Like it ! Is that a CCDB Air ? Just lacking some short cage derailleur and it would be perfect !
|
|
Looks quite clean :O
Only needs a paintjob |
|
Well now you have a 2° elevation on the stem ! higher on the front end !
|
|
Seat post seems disaligned with the rest of the frame ... but might just be the picture
|
|
This is why I sold my Pike before it got to that point ... :/
|
|
Yes, 6061 aluminium, but I don't know if the frame is damaged underneath or not .. I'll see the next time I change my headset (but did it about 8 months ago, and it doesn't show any sign or play/wear yet)

It is normal that they fall if you put the bike standing. They're not fixed into the frame, instead it's the baseplate of the headset that is holding it all together. Check Czlowiekzkili's link above. I have the same on my frame, it's stupid but that's how it works.
|

Very good explanation from Chris King there, and that explains why your frame seems to be damaged, while it just isn't. You need, sadly, an integrated headset. (I say sadly, but I had to have one in my frame too ..)
I hope the guy gave you the baseplate of the headset though ... |
|
That's why I like having a bashguard or a taco on the chainguide
 |
|
Are they both 2011 derailleurs ? Because it might be that the newer X9 is actually the older X0 (give or take a few differences here and there)
|
|
Took me a while to see where the head was, where the skies were ...
 |
|
Just put it on rubber bands or something, to avoid the beers to be shacken too much
|
|
Well he could still try sanding slightly the stanchions (very fine sandpaper, if possible with oil) to smothen the surface. As long as there is no "deep" hole or pointing bits, it won't leak nor damage the seals.
But it doesn't look good indeed :/ |
|
Fox fork and shock, Roval wheels, aluminium frame, flat pedals, can't be Sam Hill. ^^
|
|
Chain is a bit too long.
But damn cool bike, wish I had one |
|
Wait no it looks like he has some 5.10 grip underneath ...
|
|
|
He still got those crappy shoes that f*cked him up at La Bresse
 Go find some 5.10 ! |
|
Is it me or you glued bits of zip ties onto the carbon part of the cage? XD
|
|
I'd also recommend to add a few links on the chain ... it looks like if you go into the travel on the 1st cog of the cassette, it would break the chain ...
But yeah, if no warranty possible, weld it. It could last a couple of years |
|
Looks a bit like the bars are bent by the impact
|
|
Although I don't like the Intense M9 frames, that one looks cool !
|
|
I feel like an idiot now: I clicked the "button thing" as you say
|
|
Pump the suspension to get them stiff enough and you've got yourself a new Trial bike
|
|
$10 to the one that manages a wheelie
|
|
Did you really need to do that to change the internal routing? tssss tsss
Bad luck, must hurt quite a bit when it happens :/ |
|
Even my Domain doesn't have such a thick steerer at the bottom O_o
|
|
Apart that you didn't properly service it before the stanchions got that bad, what's broken ? Because you've posted in the "Broken bike/parts" part .............
|
|
"ripping down a fast AM trail and suddenly noticing the beautiful scenery around" That's my excuse for going really slow
|
|
Renthal usually makes very good quality products, you should send it back to your LBS, they'll probably send a new one
|
|
"ENVE rim straight and true!" I was refering to that, which you cannot say for an aluminium rim.
|

Some people just don't understand the "Broken Bikes/Parts" part of the Photo section...

Nah look, the stickers are still holding it together, some duct tape and let's ride ! It's got plenty of years of hard service after that fix
(oh and some hammering on the rod on the left should straighten it) |
|
I wouldn't even walk that ... let alone ride that

"Vibration, you need he heavy duty discs in the rear or else it sounds like chewbacca when you brake."
The new HS1 are supposed to remove all the vibration stuff on the G3, so I really don't know why ... Heat distribution, same thing, according to SRAM the new disc is better on that part ... Don't know about extra rigidity though |
