I feel like a pussy saying none. At least no "failures", but plenty of wringing the last shred of life out of many parts.

I'm not listing parts that broke under rider error or just plain fatigue.

I'm also making a list of users to never buy crap from ;)

Kinda makes me remember this crash. Ripped the steerer out of the crown on my MZ66, bent a Race Face Diabolous handlebar, ovalized headtube, smashed helmet, broken wrist, sore neck.. On the plus side, my right hand now comes with optional titanium upgrades!
(Picture is pretty blurry, most likely because I took it myself with my broken hand, didn't feel it at the time due to serious amounts of adrenaline. Also didn't realize how stupid I was for getting up with my neck hurting badly until I was shouted at by doctors at the ER..)
