Bike Anti-Porn - When Things Go Wrong

Is that just me, or only locked through wheels and not through frame? If so off to "how not to lock your expensive frame"

Rear triangle.....

Rear triangle.....

Proof maths has cooked my brain.

how you liking the downhill all the time... Makes it turn way tighter too

watch the pedal strikes is all

i just kept getting flats because normally its my rear wheel... all the weight forward made it prone to stuff

looks fun.

bit harsh other than the color of the wheels

... had a go on my broski's 09 Ftp a wee too tall but didn't really feel like it made it turn longer

although it maybe because his had a funda t fork on it

Ordinarily I love Rock Lobsters, but this build is just awful.

All but the fork and stem is completely fine!

I'm hoping it's a troll.

+1 with Indra.

Cranks & hubs just don't belong, and the rims are so vanilla (for such a rarity).
White bits don't work, and headset should be gold.
I'd rather see it with the deep rims and Rotors from HoKe's V-Drome.
Probably an ace ride tho.

Sensible track build vs dolla dolla sled then...

Do you even gear ratio?

Sorry...

Is that front brake broke?

has this been featured here yet?

Is that front brake broke?

Not broken, one of these - fits where a normal brake would go in the fork:

A more elegant solution is this, although more expensive. Gives you better clearance to adjust the brakes too. Fits on the headset:

You could probably make something like that if you had a vice, hammer and some plate. Depending on your skill level it might look shit though.

A more elegant solution is this...Fits on the headset:

No, the crown mounted one is more elegant (at least to an engineer) because it takes the steerer tube out of the brake load path. Using the steerer to react brake application load is a primary cause of brake chatter on bikes with cantilever brakes.

Inspired. But that front wheel with rear, hm, no. With a fitting front, yeh, has something.

Sorry, but whut?

Reversed extensions? How do you even use the extensions and the elbow rests together? Either with the point of your elbow jammed into the rest or with semi horizontal arms and some weird back folded wrists letting your hands grab the extensions half way along, unable to operate the shifters?

OR, are they actually triceps rests and you have a horizontal upper arm, superman style, and a bend at the elbow to match that of the aero bars?

Raam?
