Non-drive chainstay snapped today 🙁

Ouch

It’s those thighs…Grrr

Trying to outjump your kids?

I got a frame for sale 😉

Spoon, carbon tape, what appears to be spaff/epoxy.
BOSH!

What he said ^^^^^^^^, I think. 😕

make, model, material, pics?

ST4, old (original round model) swingarm, 2.5 years old, hard life under chubster_outandabout and many miles, so not tooooo frustrated.

The only good bit of today being that my son now out jumps me as TJ pointed out:

Okay then, I probably shouldn’t kick a bloke when he’s down but in true fashion here goes, fair play to your boy he looks good on the bike, if he really is out jumping you then that bike hasn’t realy had a hard life now has it ?

I am a pussy when it comes to jumping. I may exaggerate a little – I was jumping off the wee bits at Carron Valley today, but all are tabletops / drop offs. I suspect it is more rattling down the rocky stuff round here at a fair old rate.

Unlucky. Nice bike.

Could be worth contacting Orange – they may have an old rear end lurking somewhere and/or offer something under their crash replacement deal…?

** heads off to garage to check stays on my ST4 **

Aye, spoken to Orange already and I think we will be sorted – they even thought that have the new stay in already painted white… 🙂

Sweet 8)

Hope you get it sorted. i think you’re being pretty cool about a bike thats only 2.5 years old falling apart. 🙂

Orange in rePair shocker!!!

What you need is an Orange 5. I’ve heard there supposedly the best bikes in the world 🙄

My Sub 5 was nearly the best bike in the world so shoosh you….

A 29er wouldn’t have failed like that.

Under some tea leafing low life it better had…..
