En av de andra moderators från forum.bikemag.com har följande lista över dödade delar:
***********************
There are very few parts I haven't killed...
-Tioga DH saddle & a Sel San Marco race, killed the rails
-Titec bars, snapped them clearing a log pile
-Race Face & Grafton cranks, snapped 'em clean off right above the pedal
-seat post? too many to recall, but the Ringle Moby's were always dramatic
-Hubs: 7+ Hadley hubs-most memorable was the hub that shat its pawl through the hub body. WAAay too many Shitmano hubs, and yes, a few CK hubs
-Rear shocks? 4 RS Coupe Deluxes, 4 Romics
-XTR thumb shifter--killed it with an errant knee to the lower lever on a night ride.
-headsets: RF, Tioga, "Ahead Sets" and back-in-the-day "XT" headsets. All this stopped once I got a CK.
-BB's, every 60 days, I swap out a blown GigaPipe with a warrantied RF signature series
-Pedals, I've retired THREE Shitmano 959's in the last 8mos. Sheered the spindle clean off from the body.
-Chainrings-I pulled a 22T stainless steel granny outta of a set of RF cranks. Pulled the threads out and all.
-Brake callipers: scorched, burned and melted a rear Hayes hydro-burned the piston clean through the pad (mad it look like a donut) and blue'd the rotor. Later on the next day, I melted all the stickers off of a replacement Avid Mech.
-Forks and rear derailurs? Ha ha ha ha!
-Last, but perhaps most impressive, cracked my Ventana El Chamuco frame right down the middle. (The bike probably still has a few rides left in it, even with the cracks in the frame--there's a whole bunch of material left. You mentioned Sherwood, well I call Teresa and she said Sherwood is busy, can he call you back in five minutes? How often does anyone return a call in 5 minutes anymore? Sherwood did AND he had the replacement part ready to ship out by the day's end. Also, I still think there's a real chance the baggage throwers at SW may have had something to do with this.)
Oh yeah, I forgot my most memorable and highly regarded rear hub failure though: Ringle Super 8 and later a Super Duper 8, I blew through these things some 5-6 times in the period of two months. This was back in '93 and the Super 8's were selling for either $280 or $380, quite expensive at the time. After the last go around, Geoff Ringle wrote me a personal letter apologizing for the failures and inconveniences, and he requested a picture of the rider who had destroyed so many of his hubs. He never warrantied the last hub, enclosed in the letter was a check for the full retail value or the hub + wheel build + spokes/rim. I cashed the check, but have the letter framed. It's pretty funny.
