Goldtec Hub Failure

oh bugger what a pain! I dont know if building crowsfoot will affect the strength for certain, but from the direction that the spokes go you would think it puts a little more stress on flange because its a slightly more concentrated area. Then again, that really shouldnt happen so easily. did the back wheel take any big impacts?

I'm no trickster at all, but roads do have potholes and I can remember hitting one last week.

looks like there's a crack on the otherside too.

You're right. I haven't noticed that so far. Does that mean anything or does that affect my reasoning with Goldtec?
