i had a few questions on this frame. if i ran maxxis maxx daddy would the rub on the front of the chain stay? also could this frame take a beating and how easy does it dent? o yeah what kind of warenty does s&m give with with this frame? Thanks

redlinerider07

also how easly does the back end dent? Thanks

queensrider86

good frame. not positive about the tire though. what are you going to ride?

CMcMahon

1) It depends on how wide the tire is, and how far back it is in the dropout. You could probably slam it with a smaller width Maxx Daddy without it hitting the stays.
2) Yes, it can take a beating, and it won't dent that easily.
3) If you break it, you can buy a new frame from them at cost, with free shipping; it's the same as it is for every other S&M frame. You won't break it, though.
4) Unless you're sketchy as hell doing pedal grinds, I can't imagine how you would dent the back end. And, for the record, I rode a Stricker for a year and a half (which is basically the same frame, but with lighter tubing) without putting a single dent in it; the only damage was wear on the bottom bracket and chainstays from pedal and BB grinds.

dont get max daddy they are crappy, the pbr is pretty old but its a nice frame, the lowest gearing you can run is around 30t, its could handle a bit of abuse but its not an Angel Of Death.

CMcMahon

No sh1t. It doesn't weigh eight pounds, either. Imagine that.

i ride dirt and about the back of the bike in ment bend side to side like if i landed sidewayes of something like that. thanks

redlinerider07

also it says this frame has a internaly machined head tube. what does that mean

CMcMahon

That's not denting, that's twisting. The only frames that I ever see with twisted rear triangles are Fly frames, specifically the Panteras.

theres already a thread on this...i knowcuz i asked about it during hte summer

redlinerider07

i have a pos 2003 redline recon and would this s&m dent as easly as my redline frame? also what does it mean when they say internaly machined heat tude. Thanks

KinetikBiker

Youll be fine with the frame. Its better than your Redline and stronger

As for the tires, there good but only for the front. I have had my Maxx Daddy for about 7 months now and i intend on gettin another one, there very good for dirt...jsut dont run yours in the back becuse it probly wont clear the brakes and anyways...its not a good back tire, try something like a Prmo Wall for the back...

redlinerider07

k thank for the advice

KinetikBiker

No problem, thank beerman too....

redlinerider07

ya thanks beerman

Prozakk

What's so wrong with Redline (can I get an answer without an insult here?)???

redlinerider07

ummm redlines are ok but they pritty much are making race frames. my recon is a good starter bike tho and it was cheap.

Prozakk

I have the '05 Mega-XL.

redlinerider07

ya thats a pretty good bike havent realy heard much about them

Prozakk

It's just their frame. I bought it piece by piece (but all at once). No other Redline parts on it.

redlinerider07

i have the 2005 PBR frame and does and one no how much it weighs. also it said it has a internaly machined head tube what does that mean. also are american and mid bb the same diamiter? Thanks

Prozakk

A Mid BB uses the bearings of an American BB, but without the cups. The bearings are pressed into the frame, vs. cups being pressed with the American.

KinetikBiker

Your PBR weighs: 6lbs 3ish oz.
and you have an american BB.
internaly machined headtube means nothing as far as what kind of headset(you use a regular one NOT and internal or integrated...)

redlinerider07

so i have to use the the screw on fork kind?

redlinerider07

also can you make an american a mid if you press the bearings in
