reinforcing a rup is pointless.

i thought it was a 9. and i thot you meant like a local streetspot. dang.

Most have broken at the headtube. Reinforce the dropouts, the headtube will break even faster. They're fine the way they are, you're better off without reinforcing them.

it is. it just makes it break quicker. thats why they discontinued dsa ultrapro deck savers

 

[DJ Lee]

but the ultra pro deck savers were out when the rup v1 was out

There is no way you're gonna break the dropouts before the headtube snaps. I just broke mine's headtube at the bottom weld by the deck on... Friday. No matter what you do, most of the street goes to the headtube somehow, I'm pretty sure. I wanna figure out a way to reinforce THAT.

 

[ConnorD]

well theres a hole in the bottom of the deck, maybe slide a tube into it and weld it in?

It doesn't break the headtube faster. I don't know why people think that. When you reinforce a deck, it becomes.. well hopefully "unbreakable" That means if it's going to break somewhere, it's going to break.. not on the deck, ergo the headtube breaks.

It doesn't mean it breaks faster or slower, it just means the deck can't break, so after so much use, it will break elsewhere, and seeing as you can't reinforce a headtube, it breaks there.

At least thats what I think. I've reinforced many decks and only broke foldy rails... So I don't know. I just think "breaks faster" is incorrect. But that's just me. It could be right but it doesnt seem to make sense to me
