If you expect the rollcage to save you in a roll. Get it made by someone who knows their stuff.

Getting an external cage without cross bracing does not save you.

Surely wat I build will be better then nuffin


Or not. If you make some rubbish and expect it to save you in a roll, Then you're better off not having any cage.

Why not make it right the first time instead of using cheap tubes not meant for this. Just because one of your buddies use cheap scaffoold tube does not make it the right choice.
