i cracked my 2002 m1 rear triangle and intense doesnt make em anymore. i need a 135mm rear triangle. anyone out there have one? please pm me if so. compensation is in order.
My buddies have re-welded and gusseted their seatstays in that same place where they all break. No one with a "fixed" seatstay has had any problems. And no one even heat treated it after fixing it. If everything on your rear end is still in good enough shape, talk to a good welder with a TIG set up. They can get it back together.
Intense gave me the run around big time. They didn't seem to have any rear ends in 2005. Have they made some more up since then?
I would think that they could weld up a new rear end if they had to. I don't know why they'd be such a-holes about it. You should be able though to get the crack welded back up and then gusseted to fix. I'd imagine if they would make you a new one they would be something like $250-350. The risse idea might work out as well too.
i cracked both rear seatstays completely through after have welded one side already.
my m3 is a few weeks away and would like to build back up the m1 for second dh rig.
Worse case, Go with a Saint derailer. I'm currently working on machining a 2001 rear so I can add a replaceable hanger. Once I get it purfect, I'm going to machine my bikes hanger down so it will take the replaceable hanger.

I tried the Saint with my M1 (2001) and can't see how to make it work with the bushings in the dropouts. The Saint has a tab that sticks into standard dropouts to keep the derailleur from rotating.
Check with Erik at www.balleracing.com, he had someone machine his for a replaceable hanger.
i have an unpainted set of chainstays that are near perfect except for a tiny crack on the inside der. hanger on the wheel side of the hanger and outside of the threading. if interested pm me back.
You'll have to post some pics of it with the new rear end and a review of how it bolts up. I'm interested in this as well. My rear end is fine, but just in case you never know.

I think I still have a set of seat stays, red with a bent deraillieur hanger that could be 'worked-on' to fit someones needed. I'll let them go for minimal $'s and covering the postage.
