BMX - cracked frame

how serious is a 3mm crack where the BB attaches to the chainstay?

pretty serious.

Get a new frame, that crack will migrate to your face if you ride it much longer.

don't got the $$ right now though.

than wait till you have the money before you ride again.

don't got the $$ right now though.

Well, with God on your side, that problem should be fixed rather quickly. Right? Right?

i'll ride till it breaks, regardless of my face.

and beer, God isn't a bank machine.

...

that looks like it hurt

super glue it

find a welder and weld it.

Ok then. And you've got faith, so you don't need a helmet, right?

what do you have against people who believe in God?

Nothing. But he's got faith, so he's going to ride his broken bike until he crashes, and he's not worried about cracking open his head. Good deal. Reminds me of an early Eric Clapton band.

JMC, i think you should either not ride the frame, fix it, or buy a new one. buying another frame will be much cheaper than the hospital bill you'll get after you get impelled(sp?) by some tubing. in other words, if you keep riding it, you may end up paying much more than it would cost to buy a new frame

wow you people act like you can get hurt if your frame is cracked and bends.

I'd try to weld it while you wait to get another frame. At least that way the crack won't get any bigger. If you don't know how to weld, I'm sure you can find a welder in your town that'll do it pretty cheaply, I used to do jobs like that for $15-20.

What kind of welder did you use?

it's fine keep riding it.

Cocaine! Duh duh duh, duh duh...

I was actually thinking of Blind Faith...

That's besides the point. I was just thinking Clapton in general.

Nothing wrong with that.

*does another line*

how hard are you going to ride the frame?

I used a TIG welder

how hard are you going to ride the frame?

as hard as i usually do, so i guess there will be alot of stress on the frame at that particular point. i'm in the process of organising another frame, but it will take awhile, so i'll rdie till it breaks. it don't matter to me how much you guys diss me, or how much you may talk about the injury possibility, cuz the fact remains, i'm gonna ride, and i'm gonna ride hard, and i'm gonna ride well.

And you're going to end up with a broken frame and your seatstay through your leg. Have fun.

And, BTW, when a frame cracks, it is broken, so you really can't continue riding it "until it breaks." Because it already is.

Or the worst enema ever...

the enema from hell!

Screw You Beer :mad:

That base was already covered there, tips.

Ginger Baker is the coolest name ever.

Screw You Beer :mad:

Why are these "Religious types" so rude?


Ginger Baker is the coolest name ever.

Yeah, but musicians always get the cool names. For instance, Miles Davis, Muddy Waters, BB King. I see a trend here. Ginger doesn't fit in there.

I like how he says "screw you Beer" in response to someone else's quote. Idiot.

From now on, if anyone is mad at me, they're going to attempt to tell you off, ok? :p

is it just me or has JMC not been on the forums since this post:

He crashed and broke his head.

i think so too

yo. its running ok, but there is a terrible amount of flex in the frame now. i still working on getting a new frame.

Imminent catastrophic failure.

Now is the time to put disc brakes on it.

Don't forget suspension.

Screw You Beer :D

ha ha what an *sshole

if it breaks, jump off it

Not to good, I'll get the welder.

Please put the welder down and step away slowly.

Your grammar is getting much better though. Thank you.
