...lets face it. Its has happened since you first got a shity second hand complete BMX and its still happening now. Wether it be a severely inconvenient flat or snake bite or something a bit more serious. Breaking any bike part (or body part) is a daily risk. Get used to it. Below is probly the worst one I ever had and is luckily well documented...

That ear spiking bang you can here is both drop outs on my year old s&m pitchfork xlts snapping straight off. Not good timing. HAA.
This bad boy happend on sunday at Jelly. Just a mellow sunday ride. Felt my pedal was a bit wonky when I was riding home, looked down and this little bugger was smiling at me. I opened her up a bit bigger for the photo. But had I not checked it and kept on riding it could have been a pretty crappy and sore ending to a part failure story. These cranks are ment to some of the most nuggety out there.

Check your shit! Regular!
lucky it wasnt like eddys and snap and stab you in the leg and have to take rat poison so he didnt get a blood clot and have a stroke
ReplyDeleteGnarly part failure there bro, good work spotting it before it got ya! People give me heaps about my clean bike but giving it a quick wipe down is sometimes when you spot damage before it damages you! Ride safe boiii.
