Once upon a time i bought an Ibis frame. After 3 years the headset cups broke away from the frame itself. The clearnce hole was double the tolerance it should have been. Thats why it failed.
2 pure offered go bond the old cups back in. I declined, made my own cups at work that adressed the route cause of failure and had them bonded back in by a professional.
High end frame QC is shit. Hambini is highlighting this and rightly so. If youre spending 3k on a frame you want the design spec to be at least in the ballpark.
I watched one of his vids where he had a carbon road frame with a push fit bb that 0.1 out of tolerance. Thats just awful. Id be fuming if i bought that.
These aren’t ridiculous tolerances.. theyre bog standard. There’s wriggle room but thats taking the piss out of the customer imo.
