Get that crack fixed fast!

Mine cracked there last year and just completely blew apart!

The spring hanger went right up through the frame and the crack almost
separated. I just got it fixed today and it was a big job.

That small crack meant the frame was starting to get soft and balloon
out. It then just up and blew out last New Years on a run I was on.
Crossed a deep narrow washout and bang...
