I bought a Triaero sno4/ ican sno4
I bought a Triaero sno4, same as ican, last year. I built it up with a wren fork and rode it 4 times. Took it off a 3’ drop and the rear seat stays both snapped in 2. It was a really fun bike but the geometry in the triangle goes from compressing the shock in linear fashion but as it gets deeper into the travel, the link is too short. What happens is the seat stays start to go from pushing the shock to the shock pushing down creating a bending moment on the seat stays. This causes the shock to bottom easier the deeper into the travel as the seat stays start to rotate downward, taking pressure off of the shock and the shock let’s the rear triangle smash into the seat post. It’s just a very poorly engineered design that if you ride hard you absolutely will snap them off. The seat stats Are strong when pushing straight on, but as soon as it compresses and the the shock starts pushing down on the top of the seat stays, they will break. They sent me new ones and I sold it and told the buyer he can not jump it.
