I have snapped/broken Diamond Backs, Konas, GT Zaskars, steel and alloy cross bikes, and road bikes.

9/10 broken frames are caused by poor riding technique.
Occasionally they broke is ‘regular’ places (downtube/headtube), other broke in rather random places (Zaskar at the seattube end of the toptube, road bike on the seat tube above the top tube junction).
I would love to know what how my poor technique was killing them in these many varied ways.
Actually I think I snapped them because I used them regularly, in their intended environment, and because nothing lasts forever?
