Scott CR1

From Ian:

It's been a while since this actually happened, but here are some photos from me going into the back of a car at ~50km/h.

I was head down hurting at the start of morning peak hour and didn't see the parked car in a clearway/towaway zone until the last second. I had enough time to throw myself to the right and the bike went square into the back of the car. I took off the right hand side external mirror as I went past, and tucked and rolled as I landed about 2 metres in front of the car.. Didn't even crack my helmet on landing. Effectively got up and walked away but was taken to hospital emergency for a few hours to go over me. Just a couple of small scars which are not all that visible now 2 or so years ago.

I never 'suffer' while training or racing with my head down now. Something I try to teach everyone else to do.

Good advice. Check out the rest of the photos.

Scott Scale Limited

From Jeff:

Here is a Scott Scale Limited with this fracture, the frame simple broke in normal use. Sent to the store to evaluation, they refuse warranty just saying that the case was a "chain suck" and the rear derailleur shocked with the stay... no drop out broken, the owner just can not believe with the answer by the Scott!!

What happened to bike companies standing behind their product?

Busted Ransom

From Ross:

This is my second failed Scott Ransom. The first one failed because the aluminum seat post corroded to the carbon resin and became immovable. Scott replaced that frame and seat post. The pictured failure occurred when bunny-hopping a water bar. I did not get more than a few inches off the ground. The bike is 4 years old now. We'll see if Scott will replace it this time.

This Scott Ransom belongs to Ruaibreu of Portugal. He does say what he did, but I'm guessing it didn't just fail as he was riding along.

No Carbon Wednesday: Take the Bike off the Roof Rack

Take the bike off of the roof rack, then drive in to the garage.
