Default RE: Nose gear Flexing

I've seen the nose gear on some trainers at the field fold under from just being too soft. Maybe to small a diameter metal. The plane would land and fold under on the roll out. The Chinese metal isn't always the best. How is the main gear holding up? Is it spreading out? A replacement made out of good metal will likely cure the problem. It might also be too short and throwing the weight forward when turning.
