its was bound to happen if you abuse a DX too much. torkers are actually
freestyle uni's thats why they have such pathetic stock tires.

Freestyle can put a lot of stress on a uni at wierd angles, or so Simon
Wells tells me (2nd at Unicon in expert freestyle).

What do you mean by "They were right".

Here's another thread with a picture of a DX frame broken in the same
place: 'Torker/Unistar DX frame breakage' (http://tinyurl.com/5ezvb)

Several diferent people kept sayin that the dx frame sucked, and that it
broke right in that spot on several people... I still prefer the frame,
its just weak in that spot.

Ah, I see. I seem to have forgotten about those threads, although I do
remember that picture of a broken DX frame by onefiftyfour.

Has anyone with welding knowledge and metal knowledge taken a look at a
broken DX frame to see why it failed? Is it because of a poor weld?
Are they rusting? Does the neck tube not fit on the crown properly? Is
it due to flawed engineering or is it more of a manufacturing problem?

It is odd because they do seem like a pretty stout frame.

I think it was a design defect, if you look in the thread by
onefiftyfour, someone made a post showing that the crown was uneven
cause bad wieght distribution.

i think its because theres only 1 weld to the crown. the tube doesnt go
through the crown like a cheap yuni/nimbus.

im trying stand-up Wwalks and the uni slams the floor alot, i think this
might happen to me eventually since the force applied through a long
seat post leveraging that 1 weld is pretty strong.

That uneven frame where the neck was not in line with the fork is more
indicative of a manufacturing problem. They didn't have the frame
properly jigged to keep it in alignment during welding and they didn't
have an inspection process that caught the problem.

A design defect would be something like using the wrong size tubing to
fit on the lug or failing to specify the proper manufacturing methods.
