Tim-Hill..Yeah Mate Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 Hi,last night i was out riding, having a very bad ride, and went for a front to back on a 2 foot wall and overshot it... landed on frame put a nice dent in, and I think i have dented my gussets at the top of the bash guard so the gusset is touching the frame, is it dangerous or not?cheers tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom_ Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 (edited) should be fine as far as I can see, there is no major damage like cracking or dents. Edited September 22, 2006 by tom132 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim-Hill..Yeah Mate Posted September 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 ok guys, thanksi was just worried about hitting bash again and goin through the frame because the guset is touching tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26inch Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 should be fine, there shouldn't really be much of a gap, its fine for it to touch the frame, just keep an eye for cracks developing as if the alu is bent it will be more susceptible to cracks, i wouldnt worry though as its not a dangerous place like a headtube Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
