What did you do when it broke?
And indeed, it's "brake your frame month"
I must include the party when I go out and ride this weekend 🙄

This looks like a break that may have been partially caused by a loose
clamp and the seatpost being all the way into the seat tube. Of course
the metal must have been weakened before but that's my guess for a
break like that.

This is why I don't like kh frames, just do something like nimbus 2,
quax, koxx and don't worry for the most part. The little bit of weight
will not make that big of a difference.

Did you try emailing Kris before deciding on re-welding it? You might
want to give that a try first...

Yeah I guess, if you skim the post you might have missed it.

I don't know how that powder coat was removed, but if it is chemically,
how do you know they did not weaken the aluminum?

I can't imagine having a frame re-TIG welded can be cheap. It's gotta
run close to $100. Not every old welder can deal with aluminum. You
might just be better off buying a new frame.

in response (sort of) to the comment that was to the tune of "this is
why I don't like KH. go quax nimbus or koxx"....KH and koxx frames are
very similar in material and welding technique where the qu-ax and
nimbus frames are similar in construction to each other bu different
than KH and koxx.

Yeah, I'd say it's better to e-mail Kris about it and getting his
oppinion before blabing it to the world.

Aluminum goes through fatique MUCH more than steel or titanium. I
heard Kris is thinking of changing the aloy to be less stiff and
brittle to being softer and more resistant to repeated stress.

This seems a more likely cause to me.

Ride everywhere and never just ride anywhere. If you can ride where you
are going within a hour, do it, and if you can do a trick 50-75% of the
time do it along the way.
Parafrasing a pro skater when asked for advise to kids who wanted to
get much better and maybee turn pro one day.

How old is it? I dont know if its just me but I would say it looks
pretty old. If this is the case will kris still replace it? Do we
exspect kris to replace every broken frame? This seems like a bit of a
bum deal on his behalf.

frame is a kh 07 so its not that old, its just he took the paint off,

yeah i'm not sure we can expect kris to change every frame either,
but...

Sucks for you bobouse, get that homemade frame back and you'll be
riding in no time.
