Hennie VR Posted September 9, 2015 Posted September 9, 2015 on the Friday 31th Aug when I was doing interval training the top tube crack ! Show us your ride on Strava or it didn't happen
Patchelicious Posted September 9, 2015 Posted September 9, 2015 Show us your ride on Strava or it didn't happen If you are snapping frames from Intervals, I do not want to see his Strava PRs!!

NotSoBigBen Posted September 9, 2015 Posted September 9, 2015 Weren't you supposed to be making some big noise about the noise made by the big-bladed one?I do believe I have ....
Tumbleweed Posted September 9, 2015 Posted September 9, 2015 you joke... https://www.strava.com/activities/386292239 Is it the he or the she?
Baaisikilist Posted September 9, 2015 Posted September 9, 2015 you joke... https://www.strava.com/activities/386292239Nooo... The hub needs to be able to look at his laps for the activity in question, to see what wattage he was pushing out during the intervals. From there we can determine without a shadow of a doubt whether or not he could have broken a top tube, and if Scott must cough...
Tumbleweed Posted September 9, 2015 Posted September 9, 2015 Nooo... The hub needs to be able to look at his laps for the activity in question, to see what wattage he was pushing out during the intervals. From there we can determine without a shadow of a doubt whether or not he could have broken a top tube, and if Scott must cough... Or, at the very least, they could issue wattage limit guidelines for their frames...
Hennie VR Posted September 9, 2015 Posted September 9, 2015 you joke... https://www.strava.com/activities/386292239 That ride was on the 6th of Sept. Must have been on a different bike though, otherwise all those achievements would have been KOMs.
dirtypot Posted September 9, 2015 Posted September 9, 2015 I will also vouch for Kelson. He's not a dodgy guy, and he's definitely not a troll.I've seen the frame, but unfortunately didn't get any pictures for all of the Hub experts... It's a lateral crack on the top tube about 20cm from the seat tube. He transports the bike in the back of the car, not on a rack. Kelson is also a very strong rider, consistently part of or right near the front of the pack, so certainly puts a lot of force through the bike.The frame also cracked a few weeks ago, and was taken in straight away, so there has been time for back and fourth between them before coming on here to post. As he is not a fly by night troll, can we get back to the issue at hand?

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted September 9, 2015 Posted September 9, 2015 cool. Thanks, Dirty. The speculation, as you know, is the norm. An unknown person comes on, blasts Scott as his first post, with boggerall background into the type of crack, his dealings with Scott, etc etc. It's only natural that we'd be skeptical, as we've ALL seen it before. Now, he's had someone vouch for him. Still got no pics of the frame and crack, but he now has contact details for the guys at Scott. It could also be that his LBS is taking the p.
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted September 9, 2015 Posted September 9, 2015 I agree. Way too much speculation going onit's just as much speculation that a first time poster with no background, additional info or pictures should expect. If you didn't know him, you'd be doubtful as well.

As he is not a fly by night troll, can we get back to the issue at hand?Isnt it going to be difficult to prove what happened wasn't caused from a bike carrier/workstand clamp if the crack is not located pretty close to the headtube or seat tube? 20 cm is almost a hands length from the seat tube where I would have imagine most of the stress from normal riding would be?
Skylark Posted September 9, 2015 Posted September 9, 2015 Scott surmising it must have been a bike rack/stand that caused the crack is one thing but what evidence is there that is the case? If it's potentially that there is some internal carbon layup or void problem that led to weakness and subsequent cracks then how would they reasonably disprove that?
raptor-22 Posted September 9, 2015 Posted September 9, 2015 its up to the warranty provider to prove that the conditions of the warranty have not been fulfilled. If the frame was clamped too tight the crack would run longitudinal to the tube length and have fairly consistent depth If its a void or lay up issue I'd expect the crack to propagate along the bias and gain depth as it runs.
