ouch! that looks nasty!

 

I wonder if it was the result of misuse/a crash? If it was a flaw in the frame that resuted in the weakness then the lifetime warranty should cover it.

Not 100% sure didnt have time to read all forum replies, 1.5m jump and dealer maybe not registered.

"i really not looking if the store that i bought my Moto it's a authorized dealer, but the frame comes with original pack, manuals, warranty card and as i booked in website Cannondale and i received the confirmation of my register, i belive i have every rights for warranty, but Cannondale not anwser me. I'm really desappoited with Cannondale"

This should help put you mind at ease Patches

Although that Crack-n-dale ain't no Santa Cruz...

so basically what you're telling me is that Mike's killer green Nomad carbon is virtually indestructable, your alu santa cruz will break under half the force... and my cracken-dale needs to be treated like granny's special china tea set :lol:

In a nutshell. Yes.

 

I guess I better start saving now so that I can afford a plastic bike in a couple years time :cursing:

One thing I don't like about the plastic bikes is that although they are obviously stronger, when they do fail it's pretty catastrophic.

Those tests are very cool to watch but seriously who is gonna ride their bike into a wall.

Where was the rear susp test and pulling the BB away from the fork.

 

Doesn't help if a bike is super strong with the 1 test but then *** in another.

Ja, good point Peach. My Crack-n-sell Meta 5.5 also succumbed to those types of forces.

Mental note - stop casing jumps :cursing:
