    was just wondering if it was true i heard you could snap the front suspension on a speedfight if u slammed down too many wheelies?

    Its very unlikely, but certainly not impossible because the bike is NOT designed to be wheelied. But when popping wheelies you should be more concerned about bending the frame, or wrecking engine mounts.

    I always find that after wheeling a nice bike for abit, it starts riding like a wobbly shopping trolly.. Tears up the engine mount bushs, rear shock bushs, bends/snaps engine mounts over time, fucks up front forks over time... The list goes on.

    So dont wheelie if you dont plan on replacing parts soon.

    its more possible to happen on a speedfight because all of the weight is on one side, they shouldnt break but then you should learn to land wheelys safely or dont do them at all

    i'd go for it personally if it does snap that'll be another one consigned to the scrapheap thankfully :clapping:
