So what did you break on your bike today ?
I broke a front spoke nipple, bent a seat rail, had a rotor come loose and had shock and linkages come loose.
Been riding for months and months with nothing coming loose so don’t know why it decided today was the day ?‍♂️

After years of letting yourself go, it sounds like today you finally reached infinite mass ..

You’re quite right
After years of letting go of the brakes on descents, I finally reached the speed of light and infinite mass. I thought I would of broken or shook loose more parts than I did, but ample preparation avoided this.
Don’t worry @Zimmerframe, you too can achieve this milestone once you grow big enough balls. Till then, keep the rubber on the ground and rattle your peanuts all the way to the bottom of the hill. ?

I'm confused again, you seem to be mistaking density for mass.

Is it easy to do... confuse you ? ?‍♂️
You may have reached Infinite density yourself, especially if things are not making sense anymore... see, easily confused. Once you reach infinite mass however, you’ll know.

View attachment 51848

Just destroyed my DT Swiss hub axle, a bench vice and a DT Swiss ring nut tool trying to get mine out! 💪

What a stupid design! If only they’d made the ring nut 1-2mm larger, the ring nut wouldnt need to come out to change the bearing 🤦‍♂️

Needless to say, the ring nut now has more grease than John Travolta when re-fitting it.
