long neck?
Depending on how long the seatpost is on this inside. Quote the whole post next time, and stop trying to make me look like an idiot when im not. Theres nothing that supports your "double thickness near the clamp area" thing either.

I didnt say it would, I just always have that thought about them, that because the neck is longer, there is more leverage going on, so more force being at the connection of neck and crown when doing flatland. But like I said, its just a funny thought I have about longnecks, even though they are fine.

Eh, there's the same leverage either way lol, unless the longneck is causing you to have your seat higher or something... -- peleschramm http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=peleproductions unicycle for atheism and Spencer. www.bedfordunicycles.ca BillyTheMountain for President. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ peleschramm's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/14077 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/74367 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

Even if your seatpost were shorter, I would think that it would be much more likely for it to break at the crown of the frame. 1. Its where the weld is. 2. Its where the most force is applied. -- Michaelgoround ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Michaelgoround's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/17218 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/74367 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

Bending moment increases proportionally with the length of the lever arm, so it makes perfect sense that the frames break at the crown. If you have a longneck frame, the odds of it breaking near the seatpost clamp are even lower. The new KH frames have a butted seat tube, so it will be interesting to see where they break (although I can guarantee it won't be anywhere near the seatpost clamp, unless you're doing some really weird things to your unicycle). -- Spudman ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Spudman's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/10752 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/74367 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

It was just a thought anyways. I figured if you only have like a 5 inch seat post , and you land very hard on your seats front handle, why couldnt it happen? its possible. I can see it braking near the crown also, though, but not on the welds. -- SHAY_CAM *UNICYCLE FOR _YOURSELF._ * ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SHAY_CAM's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/16229 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/74367 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |
