amasendeinja Posted March 9, 2011 Share <P>Just cos you love my TIGHTASS hahaha</P> <DIV><img src="https://cdn.bikehub.co.za/uploads2/20100215_050637_TIGHTASS.jpg" height="461" width="615" border="0" /></DIV> My Taatass... then (FTM_1) and then (FTM_2) and now (FTM_3) .... hanging on my garage wall waiting for Planet-X/On-One to get the Titus supply chains up and running again so I can get a new rear triangle assembly after breaking the "light" (read matchstick) rails on it twice in 11 months! If you look really carefully on the 3rd pic you can see where it's cracked through where the derailleur hanger bolts on. Edit - sorry too stupid to get pic sequence correct, but I guess its kinda self-explanatory!! Edited March 9, 2011 by No Muppets! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amasendeinja Posted March 13, 2011 Share how the hell did that happen? Very literally JRA - I have a witness! Same poor guy both times, once in Sabie (near the top of the mountain) and once in Nelspruit near Halls - both times, the poor fellow had to ride home and come and rescue me with a Forester (Subaru, not the woodchopping kind!) The first time a weld "parted" on the chainstay very near the main pivot, with the result that the stucture formed by the 4 "arms" of the assembly was compromised. In rapid succession, the 2 carbon seatstays collapsed and the also the opposite chainstay near the Horst link. I would guess from a manufacturing defect where the weld parted, it did not even look broken, just like it had been glued and then parted along the glue-line. Obviously it's not glued, just looked that way. 2nd time, hopped a foot wide rut in the road and when I landed the wheel was rubbing on the frame and then noticed the crack near the Horst link when I climbed off. No big jump, just a hop at about 20km/h. I always find it hard to believe other people's stories of "I was Just Riding Along", so I guess mine deserves the same scepticism. But after reading of a number of other people having the same failures on their Light Rail Systems, and the fact that each successive version of the rear triangle assembly that Titus made became more and more beefed up (sadly post my experiences, so I had 2 of the same version) I reckon there's some validity in my claims. Great bike, when its working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rouxtjie Posted March 14, 2011 Share So after 4 months of getting parts together, my training bike is finally finished, pimp my bike Crank and Front DR = SLXShifters, Brakes, Cassette, Chain and RD = XTWheels = Hope Pro II, ZTR Crest, Stan's Conversion done, Conti MK & RK UST comboCockpit and Saddle = Mix of Truvativ, and cheapies souced from wherever I could findCabling = JagwireFrame and Fork = Old silverback Sierra, Brand new RS Reba RL Thanks to Josh from Cyclist's Workshop for the paintjob(the kawa green looks really pops), Ngala for the wheels, CWC for parts I couldn't source. This should ease the load off my Zula ito mileage. PS she weighs in at 10.99. I had to remove the valve caps to break the 11kg mark.
