Well that is uber useful, you have an insight but wont share it, why post in the first place?I am well informed and will avoid answering. But I do want to watch the action.
welcome to the monkey, son...
I thought they ended up on replacements because the guy running the team ran off with all of the money and the whole deal fell through?
. I will post back if I end up with the frame. It's at a stupidly low price so even if only last a season I wont care.Thats why the team eventually collapsed as far as I know, but not why they were on replacement bikes so quick. They were on different bikes way before the **** hit the fan with money.
Do you regularly smash your bottom bracket or the bottom of your swing arm on things? Rocks kick up into it but you don't mash it on stuff, unless you ride like a hack
Not going to comment on how "proper" this is, but I think he's talking about how the chainstays are made of three small stacked tubes sandwiched together to make what looks like a larger rectangular tube. Maybe the guy had a reason for doing it this way. Maybe the idea was that having the extra "ribs" down the middle helped with twisting along the axis of each chainstay...
Dh-team is 1st Zumbi frame. Those 6 pieces welded together results in much higher weight of the chainstay, it add spots where it can simply fail and add stress to the construction.
I'm sorry, but You are wrong. Pawel(zumbi owner) makes those frames in cooperation with Mielec (local company http://www.bikemielec.com/bm_eng/index.html). He is using their tubesets for those frames. Sadly Mielec company makes the most crapy frames in the world. They even have no access to HT after welding (thats why those frames cracks as hell).
