Bontrager Seatpost


From Steve:
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.
Still, a broken post can be unpleasant.

Vodka in the spokes? Don't know if I can blame the wheel.

Child Abuse



From Daniel:

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??

JRA: Trek Asploded



Forwarded to me by Aaron:
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 Riding Along: BOOM!
