dangerous_dave Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 did this just randomly happen when you were riding, or did you notice anything previously, it seems quite scary so i would like to know what to look out for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Poyzer @ Onza Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 Most D/H or Freeride frames have front suspension with between 4 and 8 inches travel which is why they seldom break their handlebars no matter how high they jump from. Trials bikes however have rigid forks so even the shallowest drop can put great strain on your bars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ash-Kennard Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 Surely that isn't 100% the truth...?course its true. give any trials component enough time and it will break. think of the insane stresses getting pummled through your bike. not good.
