Forward stem chainplate..

[groundhogyh]

Can anyone tell me the specific failure mode
on the stainless chain plate?

Is it the actual plate where the forestay connects that cracks?
Or the weld to the tube/strap metal?

Thanks
Roy

Hi

The triangular plate with the three holes is too thin (Needs to be 5mm) and the weld needs to be continuous. My weld gave way and I lost teh complete mast in a F2 - 3 !!

Cheers
