What now. Do you think DiamondBack will replace it? Can it be re-welded?

 

[ultraNoob]

I'm thinking retirement. Have you contacted DB yet?

 

[ricrellim]

Not yet. I wanted some opinions. I think they should because its a clean break on the weld. I wont tell them I was doing drops at Keystone. But I would say I was was riding "All Mountain" stuff and this should not have happened. oster_oops:

I contacted the shop I bought it from and DB is now sending a replacement triangle. Hooray for good customer service!

 

[sstalder5]

looks like heat stress from bad automated welding weakend it but it probably wasnt built to take drops that big

It's not on the weld. It's in the area affected by the heat of welding. The weld looks fine, but I doubt it was heat treated after welding.

If they're sending a new triangle, good for you. You might want to upgrade to something beefier before it breaks in another spot.
