amasendeinja Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 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.
rouxtjie Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 (edited) 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. Edited March 14, 2011 by rouxtjie
rouxtjie Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 Best looking Silverback I ever saw.Tee hee....cheers Gave the frame painter a colour(kawa green...apparently there is more than one believe it or not ) and gave him carte blanche with the rest, really happy with the result. Nice change to be riding a hardtail... Might do the seatpost white as well...will see
