The result of a 50+ km/h crash
From the Australian Cycling Forums, Joel sent me this photo. I'm not sure how the rider is OK when I keep hurting myself in 5km/h crashes.

Exploding Carbon Wheel
Aaron just sent me a link to this YouTube video. It looks like the tire pops and them the wheel disintegrates. Amazing they stayed upright as long as they did.

In flight... pack you bikes safely
From Andrew:
Got my bike down to Wanaka, New Zealand for an Ironman last week and found only half a brake lever... don't think I packed it as well as I should have.
Replaced with alloy brake levers, I'm saying no to Carbon in the short term! Photos aren't the best, but you definitely get the gist!
Damn luggage handlers. I hope Andrew got it fixed in time to race.

FSA Carbon Seatpost
From James:
FSA post on a Marin Mount Vision. Going over a fairly small (c.18” bump), seated and slow.... a little creak... then a full-scale snap! Just outside warranty too. And no, I didn’t impale anything!

Another broken handle bar
This one is from Chhristian. A Specialized FACT bar that looks like it was used with a bar end, but I'm not sure.

What's going on?
Sorry I haven't been posting. I dislocated my finger and I haven't really felt like typing. It's getting better, so expect new posts soon. Until then, check out these bike crash photos from Life magazine.
