No Carbon Wednesday: Steel is Real

Steel is Real.

Poor Hincapie

He broke his steerer. He looks so sad.

Destroyed Masi

Not sure what happened to this Masi, I'm guessing hit by a car.

Liz Hatch goes down

Vanderkitten pro cyclist Liz Hatch crashed hard on Monday, shearing the fork of her bike. She's very lucky and is going to be ok. Check out the full story for more pictures.

Rachel Atherton crashes into a truck

Downhill champ Rachel Atherton crashed head on into a truck, destroying her carbon Cervelo. You can see more of the bike in this Youtube interview. More info in the news story. She is from Britian but was riding in the US, it sounds like she forgot to ride on the correct side of the road and they both she and the truck swerved to the same side of the road. With no helmet she's lucky to to have relatively minor injuries.

More of the busted Bianchi

These are the forks from one of the first bikes I posted. I really want to know what happened to this bike.

Carbon Bars

They break when you crash.

Derailer or Derailleur?

Derailer or Derailleur? Either way, it's broken.

It's carbon spoke week

Continuing with the carbon spoke theme, here are a set of rev-x wheels that are about to blow up. Note the cracks forming by the rivets. Not good.

Another Giant

We had a Giant a few days ago, and here is another one with a broken down tube.

More Mavic R-Sys

This is one of the reasons the Mavic R-Sys was recalled. Carbon spokes are a bad idea.

Mavic R-SYS Recall

Mavic is recalling all R-SYS front wheels since "...the carbon tubular spokes of the R-SYS front wheel may break during use in certain circumstances and causing the rider to lose control and possibly fall, potentially sustaining injury." More info on the Mavic site. 

Giant Cracks

After a few weeks off for Christmas, I'm back. My leg is still broken, and carbon bikes are still breaking. Today it's a Giant that is completely destroyed.
