manbearpig Posted December 17, 2013 Share I broke my mates Pyga at Meerendal last weekend. The frame cracked in half at the weld. Can happen with anybike i guess. Yissie,I hope the okes at PYGA redo their sums cos a join like that is bound to fail on a high load part like that. If I wasn't a patriot I'd have some *** things to say.

If I wasn't a patriot I'd have some *** things to say.They replaced the rear triangle with no quibbles so at least that was good from Pyga but still you would think a Pyga would be bombproof Edited December 22, 2013 by Stevief Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surv0MTB Posted January 15, 2014 Share Mark from Crown found me a new temp replacement while mine gets warranteed. Only lost a weekend, but thanks to his efforts Ill atleast be riding over xmas period!! Scott sent me an entire new Spark 940 frame to replace the chainstay issue on my 950. This is absolutely awesome of them! Edited January 15, 2014 by Surv0MTB ichops 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

voltex Posted January 15, 2014 Share Ok guys i had the 2013 Scott pro carbon frame and alu chainstay I broke 2 alu chain stays Scott were great and gave me a carbon chain stay thinking this guys sorted only to do berg and bush last year and broke the carbon one .I weigh 80kg so it's not a weight issue if anyone is wondering.the problem is there is lateral movement within the main pivot causing the resulting force to crack on the weld or snap on the carbon,unfortunately this problem can only be resolved by a redesign Surv0MTB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
