Cycle Fan Posted November 12, 2013 Share Apparently it has got something to do with the pivot and the bearings seizing. Probike are aware of it - advised my LBS to tell clients to keep it greased/lubricated (?) etc. I'm not too clued up on the technical stuff but thats what I was told.

Surv0MTB Posted November 12, 2013 Share I take mine to my LBS to lube up the pivots every so often. Heard horrible stories of these things seizing up and ruining the frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waveduke Posted November 12, 2013 Share Same happened to me on W2W.Currently waiting for replacement part. I actually thought by choosing aluminium over carbon frame I would be spared with these kind of failures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevief Posted November 12, 2013 Share I broke my mates Pyga at Meerendal last weekend. The frame cracked in half at the weld. Can happen with anybike i guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
