frames that don't crack?

I've heard about F2 frames cracking eventually.
I've owned 3 blata reps now and still miss having a F2 frame cag but i won't appreciate it cracking after a short while.
Why do these crack and are there any frames that won't crack?

Easy. The F2 frames crack because they are made of hardened cheese.

Now seriously. The F2 frame is nothing but stamped probably 2mm steel that's been welded together. It would be bettered suited to a fence post over a stressed motorcycle frame. Where the welds are placed the metal fatigues and creates stress fractures which gradually travel and tear the metal.

The welds on my f2 frame looked shocking on the top seat part of the frame. One of the supports was supported by two single tac welds!

most chinese frames crack... if not all.. just find a good welder and you should be sweet for a couple months

I don't think we've cracked a lucky7 a/c yet but morty cracked his l7 w/c... so they can break..

bending swingarms out of shape would be more of an issue with lucky7's

SQs are by far the best frames to come from china but they still crack...

even with a great 9 year old (28kilo's or so) rider... they can crack.... and crack in many places... good thing his dads a welder..
