manbearpig Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 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. feetup and TALUS 2
Surv0MTB Posted December 18, 2013 Posted December 18, 2013 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!!
jawn Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 a friend of mine broke 2 Scott chainstays. It took Probike forever to sort her out. she has since moved on to a Giant. true story

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

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

Hope I get a new frame. Chances? which model? Im still trying to figure out why they sent me an entire new frame, upgrade noggal. Not going to question it just incase it gets taken away from me
feetup Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 (edited) Conclusion, get a Spez. They hardly ever break. True story. +100% Edited January 15, 2014 by feetup
feetup Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 But dude, you're missing the bigger picture here.... ALL 29'rs are epic failures.Do you come off a braai?? CHOP! BigDL, Firemeister and mrbaker 3
voltex Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 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
