In talks with Bob Jackson about getting a Vigorelli track built up. Asked for oversize tubing because I gather it is slightly stronger than standard gauge 631.
They have said that it is a big no no to hop curbs/potholes etc and doing so will void the warranty.
Are they just covering themselves?
I do the same with my alu/carbon roadbike, did the same with my old mercian track and path and they've always been perfectly fine.
I would've thought a 631 oversize frame should be more than ok with small bunnyhops etc.
They've put me off slightly now.
