Anyway, my contribution is nothing overly dramatic as some of the entries are by any means but it’s still busted carbon. This shot is of a friend’s seat post sometime after he adjusted the saddle height. My guess is the possible over-torque of the clamp at the old height. Just a guess; either way, it failed.
after incident with a car at 35mph my bike is in pieces an I have multiple broken bones as result
Vodka bottle got jammed somehow between the blades or something while I was driving fast as I could from liquer store to home here in Finland. Carrying the bottle in some sag while driving from lower position. Note to self: Don't ever do that again. Somewho I survived with only 4 stitches on chin.
Yet another victim of the roof carrier system and garage combination and an absent-minded father.The conversation went as follows:Father: How was your day?Son: Pretty rubbish actually.Father: It’s about to get worse...Son: Where is my bike??
I was not there when this happened but this is the story as it was related to me. She spent a few days in the hospital over this. On a normal ride with friends and frame let go. She obviously went down and was injured but not severely. She says it just plain let go in the middle of riding, There as no impact or crash involved. From the look of the front end of the bike I have to say I believe it.
Just 'popped' when I stood up to do a fast sprint around a slow rider on the local W&OD bike trail.
Went racing yesterday in the “Ride for Life” at Centennial Park in Sydney. Had had a good week of training with about 350kms under my belt from riding to Terrigal on Tuesday and so felt good for the ride. Coming into the second last lap was in the front third of the group when some guys in front touched wheels and created a domino effect that took out about 20 guys with 5 ending up in hospital and one with a punctured lung. I managed to mostly avoid it but got pushed into a barricade and when I looked down my bike was in two pieces.
I was sprinting through busy downtown San Jose traffic with a guy afixed gear when my seatpost went "ka-RACK." Fixie kid laughed. I mighthave said some naughty words.
He hit a bump in the road and cracked off one of his carbon aero bar extensions, and unfortunately it was the one with the controller for his rear derailleur attached.
With the bar dangling from the electric wire used to shift his Shimano Di2, and more tight turns, speed bumps and descents in the coming three kilometres, Tuft continued to plow ahead, much to the amazement of his directeur sportif, Steve Bauer.
