| Just wondering if anyone has cracked the Badda Bling. The reason I ask is cause my friend cracked one where the bottom two tubes meet and was just wondering if this is a common thing. I was going to put one together but if this happens all the time then nevermind. | |

| What two tubes are you talking about? The only crack i've ever heard of was when someone didnt space the dropouts apart. On the Baddabling the dropouts are spaced so you can run chain tensioners on the inside, if you choose not to run chain tensioners you're best to but some sort of spacer or washer in there instead, cause you'll just bend the dropouts. If you do that i cant see the frame cracking. Peace, Pete | |

The Badda Bling is just about the strongest flatland frame available right now. A cracked frame would be very rare so I would not let it concern you. Like Peter I am interested in what caused your friend's frame to crack. Patrick Schoolen http://www.flatlandfuel.com | |

I can assure you that this frame was ONLY used for flatland. He doesn't seem to ride his bike that hard and he takes good care of his parts, but hey. Here is a pic for you guys to see | |

| Damn, thats nasty. Did he buy the frame new from FF or liquidframe? Or was it a second hand deal? Im not doubting your friend has taken care of it. . . but thats insane. Never seen that happen. I can assure you it wont happen if you buy one. As Pat said Baddablings are about as strong as it gets in flatland these days. My current frame is nearly two years old, no problems. I learned kickflips on it and stuff, and it is still going. | |

| He bought it new from Flatlandfuel. I believe he owned it for about 10 months. | |

I am baffled. I've never seen a crack on a Badda Bling like that. Hell, I've never seen a Badda Bling cracked at all. I have a second hand Badda Bling and that thing shows no sign of dying. Rest assure, you can build one up without worry.Yeah, negative 6 ounces.....taking it off your bike will actually make your bike HEAVIER... | |
