I just modified my slalom bike yesterday, and now I am somewhat concerned that it will break. I did ride it, and it held up fine to 3 foot drops to flat, but I don't normally do drops or anything stupid on this bike, just 4x racing and smooth dirt jumping.

I tried to calculate forces and breaking strength, but my 3 semesters of mechanical engineering at CU aren't quite enough to figure reaction forces around the bolt with a rider landing on the bike.
