yep... it's almost funny. it's not funny but somehow it is???!

it's gone around the top tube where the cable guide is at the seat tube end. it's gotta have been a dodgy tube.

I been following tiboltrider123 on some really rough downhill sections (he was on his Rocky Mountain full suss)

Oh dear :cry: :cry: :cry: :roll: :evil: :shock:

Oh dear, that's had it! Short of replacing the tube or sleeving it that is dead it is an ex... (add Monty Python quotes here).

It's probably cracked there 'cos that's where the tube butts to a thinner diameter. You can turn it into a desk tidy. I have two of them on my desk at work, Chop the head tube off, there's one. Chop it off at seat tube/bb/chain stars/down tube there's another, leave the seat tube long enough for the bottle bosses and fit a bottle cage & bottle to hold lots of pens.

Still not as much fun as having a bike though:cry:

all that braking , the tube couldnt cope with the compression

strange place for it to go
