Parts that failed you BITD

(1/5) > >>

Ady:
What bits and bobs failed you BITD ..
My list if I remember was..
Three ultra burner frames  ( two mark ones and other mark two)
Three araya 7c two rear and one front..
My brother tuff burner front tuff wheel hub failed.
Three sets of the Gold v shaped ultra burner gold bars the last straw was to get shot of this bike was when it failed resulting in a trip to hospital as the snapped bar end took a chunk out of my shoulder..
My rear suntour blue high flange hub failed on my rebel pro just after jumping 6 large oil barrels on a home made ramp still got the scar ::)
Still got my original bike with a non matching gold rear hub which reminds me of this.. :D

So what failed you and the aftermath if any..

Skyway rear hub collapsed, rivets fell apart .
1980 Mitygoose frame, snapped were the top tube meets the seat mast tube jumping large traffic cones with a homemade ramp.
Coaster brake locking on in mid air jumping off a high kerb, spun the pedal backwards into my left shin, still got that scar.
riding downhill double breasted no handed, handlebars twisted around, fell off and my head hit the Stermey archer hub chain on my mates Grifter, had concussion and a couple of stitches for that one.
That was more a failure on my part not the bike.

Ady:
Oh I cringed when your said your head hit the mini chain on the hub..
Bloody lucky..

There was a guy I knew at our local woods called Daz, where years of digging out jumps and a track formed , he was a really good rider BITD, he was doing a table top on a redline at it was proper high and I think he rode a Proline, The frame snapped on landing and also his leg,  it took months with one of those leg cages with the pins, the only problem was when his leg healed and they removed the pins in was about 1/2 shorter than the other and he never walked the same again.

Suntour VX cranks ! Rounded at least 5 sets before i had Redline flights .

Alloy cranks  .. Not good for racing or jumping !!
