...i look down and there is a deraileur about to be chewed up by the crank. i've had the bike for 2 days and rode it for 10 min and now it's borked. i am unbelieveably pissed. i can clear the jump NO problem on my modded giant rincon.
returning to my shop after riding a full rigid down...
...what looks like a microscopic saw edge this suggests that a crack started and took several impacts to break completely, you might have cracked the heaset and borked the alignement of steerer tube in relation to the headtube that walloped the headtube before the headset ever broke all the way off.

But, what about when your rotor gets bent? or your caliper gets smashed? Very likely with BMX-style stuff. Plus...
...prices change with the economy, but still, I would like to think a dual HSCV fork should sell for what a JrT sells for. But then, my idea of pricing is a bit borked due to Marzocchi being a touch overpriced down on our island, so unless I see a comparison of prices, I'm just rambling :think:
