Oh well its an excuse to get something new.

Loving mine so far.
You WILL need to stick some protective tape on the frame though, the paint on mine seems to chip really easily.
Oh, and as they dont tell you on the on-one site, I may as well point out that it's not solid brown, it's metallic. There's some close-ups of mine in the "your mountain bikes" section if you want a closer look.

If I was mainly pointing it downhill, I'd probably have gone for a 16" summer season though.

Clearly spending to much time on the brakes

I do spend a fair amount of time on the brakes.
I use them on climbs to make it harder.
And how much you guys reckon i could get for Fox DHX Air 3.0 or it might be a 5/0 actually.

More likely that it's the first weakest point in the chainstay after the weld finishes on the brake mount. There's going to be quite a lot of twist and shear at that point given the suspension design.
It's a censored fender from Mucky Nutz.
Great from stopping the spray that gets in your eyes and mouth, whilst still allowing you to get absolutely filthy
And an absolute bargain at £7.

An excellent example of a company that has been bumped or actually selling and using piss poor produced metal for there products ..
IMO you have grounds to sue them for selling a product that could have endangerd your life ..
er yeah , back in the real world stuff breaks after prolonged and harsh abuse , and your assuming the frame is still under warranty , and your ignoring the fact that dirt jump type riding is inherently dangerous even if the bike is in perfect condition.
thats just life , get a grip.
You fail to forget there has been accidents and deaths caused by structual defects and bad design flaws has happend in the past and recently .
Due to poor choice of material ..
norco did recall some frames this year and last year due to them snapping and cracking. not sure which frames, i jut remember being told about it in whistler last year and reading about it...
contact your local dealer or the importer to were you stand...

You have still a lot to learn ...in life
BOAC Comet failed as a passenger jet due to structal defects in the fuselage whilst in operation
DC10 had a history of crashes until it was found that the front cargo door connection was faulty -
A number of cargo ships sink without trace in the South china sea's all crew lost the probelm unknow for a number of years untill one of the last ships remaining was docked in holland under routine maintance ..It was discoverd that the rivets were faulty would snap in cold conditions .. There was also a programme aired in ITV on this very subject
A good few years back GMC or ford was taken to court and lost due to a serious flaw the placement of the fuel tanks that when t hit side on they would explode
your point on the first 3 being????? I assume that it is something along the lines of not all companies recall products? Companies are not under any obligation to recall products AFAIK. They do it to save face and to ensure people will still buy from them.
Go big or go home.
None of that has anything to do with this topic. You are just spouting shite to make yourself appear more intelligent. And failing, miserably, i might add.
It's marketed as a bike that can handle off road use. the frame didn't bend or buckle...it snapped straight through, right at the edge of the welding, that's not right. Did the tyre blow out?....Did the wheel buckle?...The frame should be stronger than the tyre or wheel, so a small claims court case maybe in order...bet they'd settle out of court once they receive the papers. It's not worth them paying to have a defence drawn up and then be represented over a frame worth a few hundred quid.
