Lets be honest--who runs what pipe/tube cages?
I'm just curious. After 2 solid days of reading this stuff and seeing arguements for both sides---I wanna see who has wht. The intention of this isn't for anybody to get flamed, as I strongly believe any type---even pvc has got to be better than nothin.
I do know people have trail tested their cages, so lets see em---before/after. Lets see the carnage after. Ive heard of some types of cages bending--some breaking and some becoming lethal spears, yet there are no pics.
Describe your flop, flip, roll, launch off a cliff--whatever it may be in your post.
Did you build it--if so where did you obtain the tube/pipe--friend---used toilet pipe--home depot--steel works---whereever.
I was involved in a discussion with one friend who had a black pipe from homedepot cage and one who built one from DOM, both looked relativly the same, but neither had tested, of course the same arguement as always had popped up whos was safer and whos was best bang for the $.
The intention of this thread is not to start a debate--give advise--flame people--but rather show what people have out there. If ya think its crap--keep it to yourself, heck save the pic and get a laugh now an then, however I'm sure there are those lurking that have what they believe is an inferior cage and are afraid to post it due to being flamed---for that im requesting that everyone please not to post negatives about cages. If you have advise--like gusseting adding braces--thats fine---but comments about materials/welding isn't the idea.
also dont post the tube is better than pipe debates--we have all heard it and if not try a search. finally dont put anything about saving peoples lives---its your life---build what ya want around it--even if its 1/4 electrical conduit, if it makes ya feel safe and works, kudos to you!!
now lets see what people have!!!
