its been tested by benJ. it ought to be good, and it looks like the addict deck has competition for the lightest deck out, that thing looks pretty damn light!

The downtube on that deck looks so thin it will fucking break. They need to re design the headtube

We don't know if the headtube is weak or not yet. Just because it looks weak, doesn't mean it is.

Most decks don't snap at the actual headtube unless they're heat treated and I bet this things not even if they say it is, so like district dk 2 this thing has a lot of surface area welding the headtube to the deck and its not like micro are a new company surely they would know what they're doing when designing it.

i guess im gonna be the only one to say the headtube looks sick as hell. its an innovation and every company needs to make a new design sometime

you seem to disagree with everything i say but never explain why im wrong?
most of the addicts broke at the dropouts (although i know they had really thin dropouts), districts all broke at the welding point where the headtube connects to the deck and thats including dk1, dk1 v2 and dk2s and yet reventons seem to break at the headtube. im not saying every deck thats not heat treated breaks there just the ones ive seen. it seems to me that heat treating makes them stiffer so the headtube seems to take more impact and snap while not heat treating decks makes the head tube more shock absorbent and the deck seems to snap elsewhere or banana. although im probably wrong

Obviously the headtube is extremely weak. Why on Earth would anybody think about testing the deck before production?

You are actually completely wrong haha, no offense.

Not to mention, I'm pretty sure there aren't any 1 piece decks you can buy that are not heat treated.
