B Models Decks Cracking??

me and my friend have been riding new b's lately and in the past couple weeks we have cracked about 3 or 4 decks up near the foldy, it is under it though so now it starts to move...
is this happenning to anyone else?

and is there a way to reinforce it or something?

theres no such thing as a new b, so maybe you mean the new a's? Just get a pro model dude, there muchhhh better, trust me.

i think there new b's.
ha. but im not sure if i can afford anything really right now.
how much are pros?
 
1 pro which last you a long time is better than a few B's which keep breaking. I don't know the exact price of pro models.

And yeah trust Kenny Owens. Although he is the biggest whore , you can trust him.

i went through them to quick so i took a pro model,

cut the deck to a new A size and put the foldy back on works so cleannn.

because new a's have a mech thats bolted on which will eventually rip off the from the deck, b model and pro mechs are welded and are much stronger, and have the right hole for bolting behind the head tube thing.

Its more of the position than it not being welded. The bolts are positioned in the center of the deck and your constantly pulling up stressing out that part of the deck. When you put the B mech on the stress gets relocated to where theres more support and it won't crack as easily. I've had a new a/b mech go for about 6 months with some crazy riding before it broke, so its not the welds.

So the old a deck doesn't have folding mech rails on it anymore? You could get a b foldy in the classifieds forum on this site.
