Re: pics of FI cage damage

is this a newer style freestyle cage?
they now are advertising thicker steel, but that means the bar wont bend, instead this happens. damn nice picks makes me rethink .... thanks- good luck.- joe

correct me if im wrong here...i thought cages are supposed to save people money. looks like FI just tells people to re enforce thier subframes because they sell a faulty product. its a bad design, thats why the bolts rip out and mounts break. the impact goes from one side to the other side. which is obvious by looking at how your bolts are ripped out and the mount broke.

www.mxdcages.com worst news ive heard so far is a broken washer, which is whats supposed to happen as its the weak point in the cage. thicker metal isnt going to help things, it should make it worse

if you dont go with us, i would suggest 905 or powers. but i would stay far away from FI
