Ever heard of a Cervelo frame cracking?
Quote | Reply
I am trying to get an idea to see if anyone has had a cervelo bike frame with the SmartWall tubing crack anywhere. It seems like their frames have stood up really well from memory - E

never heard of it.

Those tubes aren't crazy/stupid light, so as long as the welds hold true (and i've heard only good things about cervelo welds) they are probably less prone to the possibility of cracking than a lot of the frames on the market.

I have seen damn near every frame broken..no brand is exempt from that. It is how and where a frame cracks that is important. I dont know that I have seen ANY frame crack with out some serious abuse (in recent times - Scandium frames from a coule years back did like to bust).

I have sold and owned many, many Cervelos- well in excess of a few hundred.

Not one failure of any kind. Not one. Zero.

I saw one with a split at the seat-tube neck. Very tall guy, 200 lbs plus. It was about 3 or 4 years ago...don't know which model, only that it was red. The fellow was getting another Cervelo to replace it...that says something good in itself.

I have a friend that bought a P2k and after 2000km on it he start hearing a noise on the cranks... We looked close all the components and nothing... When we decided to change the cranks we saw a crack on the seat tube the the same level of the front deraileur but on the other side... Cervelo replaced the frame without asking... good service...

I saw a guy ride into a ditch in a bike race. His cervelo top tube was folded like a pretzel. His front wheel was folded as well.
