debonding

[dyna-ti]

When i bought a dyna-tech frame ,i got a lot of replies to my ? on concerning frames breaking from the tubes debonding ,after research i found this to be the case,and it would appear that this type of frame is ,for want of a better term,'unwanted'[not by me though]
Yes ,many frames Did break ,but not all, does this make the dynatech a rare sought after frame as if it was going to debond ,it would have done so in the first couple of years
How many titanum marin's and kona's are there out there 1000's i'd guess ,now how many dynatechs ?, see my point

BUY ONE NOW

my guess is, if it's been ridden and hasnt come undone yet, it probably isnt gonna now

Mmmm, not all were bonded! AND different "glues" were used. I had an M-Trax 5000 which was a dynatech frame and this was hammered on XC duties with a Pace RC31 rigid fork and never showed any signs of a problem, but I found out after I had sold it, that it had been "brazed" and not bonded and had steel lugs, with steel K2 Reynolds tubing. I believe the biggest problem was with aluminium tubes or lugs and steel tubes where the aluminium oxidised and caused the joint to fail. Steel and Ti frames had a low failure rate. They all ride really well and make a good XC hardtail.

They're repairable when they do break too - an airplane repair company can rebond it.

Exactly - something like Redux 775 would be ideal for this, as long as the whole frame could be heated to around 140 degrees Celsius for 30 minutes in order to cure the adhesive.
