March 18, 200719 yr Can anyone help me? I bought a beta rev-3 last week, and both times i've ridden it i've snapped the front fender whilst dropping off a 4ft-ish rock . Do any other beta riders find this happening to them, and what can I do to prevent this frustrating problem happening? Thanks joe
March 18, 200719 yr Have you got spacers in there? Must say though I managed too fold mine in half today and she popped right back in place
March 18, 200719 yr Must say though I managed to fold mine in half today and she popped right back in place hmmm that sounds a bit odd barry couple of people rond here use sherco mudguards cos theyre so flexible, or an old techno mudguard will work
March 18, 200719 yr It happened to me on my 05. Every time i did a drop off over 4 ft they just snapped at the front . I bought a new one and same again. Called Lampkins and complained, so they sent me one for free. Guess what it happened again so i called them again, they then sent me one from the previous year and had no probs, but saying that shortly afterwards i did put 5mm spacers in.
March 18, 200719 yr It's caused by a mismatch between the profile of the guard and the stay with the rivets pulling the guard too tightly against the stay. When the stay twists the guard cracks across the edge of the stay. Use a nice set of dome head allens and nuts instead of rivets, put some rubber 'twixt guard and stay and don't overtighten. Problem solved - in my case at least.
