That's something you've personally experienced and you probably won't buy another Flow. That's okay. I wouldn't either. I'd probably go with another company. But overall FIT bikes are probably reliable. People love DK. I had a DK Legacy Chris Doyle model. It was a tank...strong as hell. But I didn't like the geometry. I had a Haro Mirra Pro frame after that. Now people can talk crap about Haro, but that Mirra frame handled so much better than the DK. Who cares that I owned a Haro? Most of the stuck up bikers on here would care. Guess what? I've been riding longer than them. I was doing no handers, 360's, and nothings when they were in kindergarten. Stop making riding about fashion and what's bikes and parts are "in". Stop putting riders down for not having the right bikes. Shut up and ride.

I just love biking and don't want idiots to give it a bad name. I wish riders would unite, rather than be punks about riding. Don't turn it into the old school skating attitude where it's like "**** the world!" Bikers are a rare breed. It takes a little more skill and balls to do what we do. You got to be a little crazy, and it's not just about being rebellious. It's about pushing your limits and falling in love with that adrenaline rush.

You think im a trend ***** don't you? Trust me, i'm not otherwise I wouldn't be riding an 05 T1 frame which weighs nearly 6 lbs. That may not sound a lot to you but in this day and age, that is considered heavy. You seem to think you are so good coming on this forum and hating riders but trust me, you're not. Fit is just easily led you see
I wasn't banging on you eight. I actually understand where you're coming from. I wasn't aiming that whole post at you. And I'm not trying to hate...I may be a little harsh at times because I see the division and punk attitude with some of the bikers. You actually had a point, and I agreed with it. If I broke a frame, I could say I didn't like it either. I just have bikers in my town who ride this or that and they're hating on a kid because he rides a Rockstar. Then they're putting kids down because they their seat's to high or "why do you wear a helmet?" So if I go too far with my opinions, then sorry. I just get pissed.

Rock on! Trends suck. And helmets are good. I wear one. I've learned my lessons the hard way.

I don't wear a helmet because it's uncomfortable and it'll make me feel like I can't get hurt and then I will do something big and hurt something else.

That's such a bad excuse haha. I fell on my head the other day and only cut my forehead a little bit. Would have been a lot worse if i wasn't wearing a helmet

I don't like 'em either. They make me feel constricted and heavy. I wear one when I hit the jumps at the dirt park. Usually not street riding though. I always wear one when I'm downhilling on my MTB. Trees and rocks hurt. But why can't someone make helmets that are thinner...maybe use some air or gel padding tchnology or something to make a slim helmet. I don't like the "big head" feel. Especially since my head is tiny. Helmets always look huge on me. But I'd rather protect the noggin. And I'd rather spend my money on my bike than the hospital bill.

If you have a thinner helmet there is a greater chance of the helmet breaking, and thus that company getting sued for improper protection.

They have all kinds of neat hitech materials now to stop bullets I dont see why they can't do the same with helmets.

Usually when riding a bike you aren't quite worried about getting shot in the head.
