Epic fail

I have to give Spooks credit for not making absolutely everything electronic make loud beepy dot-matrix-printer sounds like CSI.

It was semi-believable until I saw them do it.

i have exactly that model, a colleague pointed it out to me earlier today

Plenty of seatpost insertion. But if he over tightened the clamp, it could cause the same kind of stress riser.

There is a pretty popular pic of the exact same Easton carbon road bars that I run. Snapped at the sharp bend down to the drops. I never pay attention to these sites. But sunday afternoon, Hitting 60kph, down a long striaght decent. I could'nt get the fecking image out of my mind.

Gah!

Lead tyres.

would make you go faster probably

Honey lane.

Equal gravitational acceleration, more inertia. Probably not.

Right, who's got any Crystal??

^ Fuck.

Drugs are bad m'kay.

Equal gravitational acceleration, more inertia. Probably not.

Cannondale frame buckle under braking

The owner reports fitting a disk brake, riding about 50km, then fitting new brake pads and going for a hard braking'' test. The owner weighs about ***175kg*** and has broken many components in normal riding, so he wore a full-face motorycycle helmet for the first ride. In sustained hard braking down a hill, he reports acrack'' sound, then it felt like the wheel jammed. The bike flipped and the rider broke both arms. In looking at the damage he suspects the frame buckled, allowing the front tire to move back and jam on the frame.

Although the combination of rider weight, suspension fork, and disk brake seems like it might be ``overload'', it is worth noting that

Trololol

Which shot is before and which is after? Can't tell ;)

My mass changes with every meal.

I'm not fat, I'm just accelerating.

I thought you looked blue the other day

That strava t-shirt could be running times, although it's still not particularly fast over half a mile downhill.
