RidingAgain Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 (edited) Never seen this... Got me thinking about all the little areas of stress on mtb parts that I never think about checking... Not mine BTW... Just came across the photo. Edited December 9, 2019 by RidingAgain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mack_turtle Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 I found a "crack" in my last frame while cleaning it. It looked at though the top tube was separating from the head tube. Steel hardtail, less than a year old. Sent back to the manufacturer and they just replaced the whole top tube and repainted it, but said it was probably just paint. I didn't want to take the risk of having the head tube sheer off while riding, so it was worth the hassle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natas1321 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 I give my bike a good cleaning every few months and check it over, I also wipe it down after each ride with a quick inspection post ride.
