Gnarlyscoots:
I had the same issue with the rear Skyway coaster hubs and the rivets breaking. I done 2 of those. The cones tightening and crushing the rear alloy hub on my white Skyway.

Dia-Compe hinged seat clamps, they were terrible for snapping. There best use was for coaster tabs  :daumenhoch:

I broke MX1000 callipers, Tech 3 and pre bent levers, busted a few Suntour XCII cages, cracked the gusset both sides on my Pro Burner frame, snapped a OGK spoke, snapped a Suntour stem, busted untold seats, bent a few laid back post and handlebars.

A good friend of mine, Andy, had a Stratton Aero as his first bike. Before the races started at Shoreham when you could have a few practice laps, he tried to do a  massive air off the tabletop and when he landed, the front rim collapsed, and the copy Suntour stem snapped off the shaft and he landed on the shaft ripping his chest open, and getting a facial from the stones in the dirt. It was not good, but luckily the Ambulance crew were close by. Shoreham was terrible for the stones  :(

Remember a mate of mine snapping his VDC freestyle bars in mid air over the tabletop at Poole track.
Only things I ever broke were free wheels cos I was so smooooooooooth :daumenhoch:

Aeroyal seats, never had one, but most of my mates did, they always cracked on the top.

How many of us had a go on our mates bikes and got our scrotums pinched in said crack, while wearing short shorts, in the Summer of '84.  :daumenhoch:

All a load of bobbins!

Would have taken some to break a shimano DX  pedal, I could see a victor failing though

You're kidding me! I've broke at least 4 dx's, always snap at the axle taper, and always a bad crash and the tearing of flesh. Never a warning, just snap. Last one riding street in Doncaster, 2004. Never putting faith in 'em ever again.
