BigDL Posted October 27, 2013 Posted October 27, 2013 Ha. Read this this morning and spent the next two hours riding and mentally wincing every time I hit a bump. NeoOne 1
Bonus Posted October 27, 2013 Posted October 27, 2013 Snapped a bolt at northern farm a few years back. Put the saddle in my back pocket and rode back to the car standing. About 5 km I guess. I had no idea how often you sit down normally - wasn't as easy as I thought it would be!
Carcarias1974 Posted October 27, 2013 Posted October 27, 2013 You would've been a star if you could've captured that on a GoPro. Hope you heal up well! VERY insensitive Squier! But I suspect it would have deposed Miley from the most viewed (by me at least) on Youtube! All the best BM!!
gummibear Posted October 27, 2013 Posted October 27, 2013 ....cannot think of anything worse than it breaking while at speed A carbon stem
fabs Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 It is a constant fear of mine. I am dik at 92kg and a clumsy rider. Always worried a seatpost or handlebar might break. For the above reason I have steared clear of carbon - is that relevant or just neurosis? Carbon is much stronger than any other material found on a modern bike Yusran 1
Skylark Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 Carbon is much stronger than any other material found on a modern bike But it has a way of having catastrophic failures that aluminum generally doesn't DubbelBuys 1
Muggins Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 With the Hakahana race I went past 3 different riders whose saddles had broken off. It will never break on a normal flat section of road. It normally goes at speed and in a technical section as well as 30 km from your car.
