The “What did you break today?” thread

[outerlimits]

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 ?‍

Thousands of freaking spider webs.

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

 

[Beekeeper]

After buying the ebike and then becoming addicted to ordering accessories almost on a daily basis.........I have basically broken...... my bank account ??‍

Little finger left hand. Bicycle is fine. I’m riding later.

 

[goldo]

my ribs, thank goodness the bike's alright

 

[Peaky Rider]

Wind, but it was a very scary and muddy descent.
These heavy bloody e-mtbs take some stopping on slimy descents.

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.

Can you do it again and video it ! That must have been quite impressive. I'm thinking you're not a watch maker by trade ?

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.

Probably too late, but I see these have a lifetime guarantee! Lucky it’s 20,000 psi rated - whatever that’s supposed to mean.

Pro tip:
Next time remove the axle and non driveside bearing (attached) BEFORE putting the wheel in the vice mounted ratchet tool.

You're welcome.

Damn, I didn't realize it had a lifetime warranty. Yes, too late, I now have something else....
