7/15/2025 8:55pm There are new ones with an embossed logo that have a fair bit more rubber than some older debossed ones I’ve seen, but yes, it’s still not great. I believe it is beneficial to this frame problem and does dissipate more force, but only marginally. A bandaid-solution to shit frame design. Where I’ve found they are useful is effectively extending...

7/15/2025 8:19pm Can confirm that the ODI bumpers are not a problem. More (and firmer) rubber sits between the frame and the plastic backing with these bumpers than between the fork and frame of the stock ones. They’re also taller ie more force dissipation. The WC team runs them over the stock ones. That’s all you need to hear. All frames I’ve...

That is some shithousery design work, no option to run the bumper any position other than that, as under compression, the stanchion will come into contact with the frame. The team running the ODI bump stops says it all, the issue I'd then been concerned with is the amount of material at that area to support a bumpstop pushing against that area and not causing damage (delamination)

Fox bumpers are soooooo loosely goosey that riders with 40's have no other option (on any DH bike). So much as sneeze and the stock bumper has inevitably rotated and you fully go stanchion to frame

7/12/2025 6:46pm 100% Giant's fault with the 'wave' design as you said, and definitely a warranty issue. Problem here I think will be gathering enough evidence to prove this. If you've got any photos of yours maybe post them on this thread @blueorange I am sure by now Big Giant is aware of this with the DH team running the ODI bump...

The DH team itself is running frame protection on those spots now(rubber bumpers) - tells you everything. Giant is such a tight ass with their warranty... every single time it was a ballache they always have said no by default... almost like an automatic response and we have to push on everything.

5/21/2025 5:50pm Every person who has asked me about my bike (MY24 Glory) has at some point asked “how many frames have you been through”. It seems to be common knowledge. I couldn't find any information on this major issue with a quick google search, so I thought that I'd be the person to supply what I know here for others out...
