Btw the v-10 is absolutely a beast in the nasty crap and steep rock chutes..it handled it amazing..first couple I held back to get a feel and then "screw it!" It was go time...it railed

I will say for DH it's top 3 if not top spot bike I've ever ridden...

Got some time on airbag and hit the jump with the hardtail...never rode a hardtail so hitting a jump first thing out...man it kicks

Decided to build the session back up and side by side the v10

Well one of the guys local broke his rear triangle in his new v-10..no damage to bike came in hard apparently and it snapped the upper right side chainstay...I'll get a pic from Javi tomorrow...it was warrantied.

Can't say if it's a weak point or if it's just one of those things and why we have warranty cause sometimes something didn't set right...my guess is didn't set right due to the amount of stress rear triangles see and the years SC has been building solid rigs...

that's where my n4 broke. figured it was torque from a weird angle when i landed...wasn't even a really big hit...

Just put some more 3m mastic tape on it and she'll be good as new.

i do love me some mastic tape...got it on the underside of the down tube too, and under the stupid hollow "shuttle guard"

Yeah its super nice, though I've never tried removing it, if thats even possible.

Did you notice much of a difference stacking it like that?

i just did it to follow the form of the chain slap noise reduction ones that started coming on later gen models...figured why not, not like it was hard to cut a few more strips. bike wasn't noisy (until the crunch when it broke) so i guess it worked?

His did this but half the size and same thing where it cracked 90* of itself as well...under the ride wrap and tape ...lol

Duct tape seems to be the next logical forward move..

His was same no damage from a strike just a really odd load on the rear and it did it like yours

Put down a layer of helicopter tape, then put the mastic on that. When it's time to remove it the helicopter tape pulls clean off.
