For shenoyp...

Couldn't find them when I posted that the other night, but here's a link to the pics on the site of the guy that had his come apart... I'm not flaming the K5 or even pretending to know how/why this happened. Just passing the link along.

Broken K5 frame pics...

Fwiw, I figure these have already been posted here, but I would have missed them...

Forgive me if it's a rehash.

Please do keep a watch... I'd hate to see the front let go on a bro in a corner...

Not sure there would have been a sign of trouble before this let go though.

I haven't read anything on Zuk's response to this yet. Don't know what they figured out or done.

What worries me the most is the amount of area of that weld that looks like it had no penetration and was just sittin' on top of the frame...

Go get yours checked they have a test for the welds to see if they are okay.
