Some of those G-outs would break anything...under the right circumstance.Not me, but a local snapped his OneUp bar and was rewarded with 25 stitches to the face.

I don't know, but the thread on his face must itch.did he snitch?
DHR or Intense?I Discovered this on my archaic DH bike at the bike park yesterday. Luckily, I had my general purpose mtb with me as well.View attachment 196389
Dang, those are some rips.1 buddy broke his levo the other destroyed the 5dev crank shaftView attachment 196468View attachment 196469View attachment 196470
I want to know what he did to break the frame and the cranks at the same time. Cranks certainly didn't behave like a fuseable link.Dang, those are some rips.
I'm not sure, if 5dev really know what they are doing. There are reports of failures everywhere I think.
How thin is the metal there where it cracked?1 buddy broke his levo the other destroyed the 5dev crank shaftView attachment 196468View attachment 196469View attachment 196470
While we only hear about the failures, yeah its concerning. This one looks like the crank bolt snapped. Too many ugga duggas?Dang, those are some rips.

Weren't it two guys? One killing the Special bike, the other one the crazy truss cranks?I want to know what he did to break the frame and the cranks at the same time. Cranks certainly didn't behave like a fuseable link.
good point. I just see a lot of black broken shit.Weren't it two guys? One killing the Special bike, the other one the crazy truss cranks?
I don't know, but the guy threaded his direct-mount chainring to add 3 bolts, who knows what he's done with the crank bolt!!!Shiiiiite bolt, why is the metal missing here?

That's what I figured as I had a raw one too. I was hedging my guess adding Intense due to their raw frames too.DW DHR
Yeah I haven't heard of any failures on these...I run it on evil it's getting swapped to SC...Love how they perform and dampen , i had em on a freeride bike for jumps and drops (nothing massive) but never questioned them....Not me, but a local snapped his OneUp bar and was rewarded with 25 stitches to the face.

Shop says they think you can get the cage, but will have to look.Are those things rebuildable?
Do they make submarine parts?When 5Dev first launched their cranks, I asked them if they were tested to CEN or EFBE standards.
They pretty much said they make parts for satellites so they're good....
Relying on the bike industry classic "let the customer do the testing" standard.
carbon?Not me, but a local snapped his OneUp bar and was rewarded with 25 stitches to the face.

the non dh rims are pretty thinNew bike came with I-9 Enduro S wheels. What appears to be a minor rim ding buckled the rim bed to the point that it is impossible to seat a tubeless tire even with a compressor. Rim seems to be made from some kind of soft cheese, or perhaps an aged cheese with really thin walls.
Just fyi, I rode one of those for 5 years like that. It never grew.I Discovered this on my archaic DH bike at the bike park yesterday. Luckily, I had my general purpose mtb with me as well.View attachment 196389
29" The part I can bend back isn't the problem.the non dh rims are pretty thin
Ive bent back a few.
What size? If 27.5 Ive got some bits if you need them
moar gorilla residue
Yep.carbon?
or a flaw in material choice for something to be clampedYep.
Funny/not funny because they released an alloy version the next week.
I looked at the bar recently, it broke in the area between the inside of the grip and the brake clamp. For sure not damaged or scored there, most likely a flaw in the layup.
