Super Sywurm Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 (edited) Hoe kry jy dit reg??? I think the chain needs some lube!? Edited March 4, 2014 by Super Sywurm Caerus 1
CogitoErgoSum Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Nice. Happened to me 2km into a race a few months back. Luckily didn't go to fast, was climbing out of a riverbed. You can come off hard if it happens at speed
Jewbacca Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Happened to a buddy of mine a couple of weeks back.... He now rides a SS.... fanievb 1
CogitoErgoSum Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Hoe kry jy dit reg??? I think the chain needs some lube!? The hanger has broken off clean if I am correct? Easy to do that - too much power onto a bent/cracked hanger... Of hoe?
Sweiss Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 That jockey wheel looks seriously suspect! Caerus, Ceres and Baaisikilist 3

stringbean Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Looking at chain,jockey,spokes basically everything on the bike you have done zero maintenance or upkeep of your bike.Take a jar of vaseline with you to the bikeshop when you get the bill and please don't post here later about how you've been ripped off.School fees. Ceres, DIPSLICK and gummibear 3
eddy Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Take a jar of vaseline with you to the bikeshop when you get the bill a Nah, this guy doesn't need/do lube
Helpmytrap Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Was your rear wheel in the direct "path" of your cars exhaust at some point? Looks that way by the select few black spokes.
Ceres Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 The chain and jockey wheel Have to agree looks like a pretty old jockey with rust on it, wear and tear looks like the main problem here.Also that jockey wheel looks more like a ninja star. hayleyearth 1
Mr X Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Rouxenator is a man that does not spend too much R on mtb stuff, he is married. Yo Rouxenator, in the sport of mtb, sometimes it is necessary to spend some R on stuff to actually save money, especially with drivetrains, but also to avoid catastrophic failure when out doing an event.
ThePubSA Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 To be fair some of it looks like dust on oil/lube/grease.. but that jockey wheel and chain are toast... and now alot more

Mr X Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Did you ride the Artgust mtb like this? You are very lucky this did not happen then.
