JSA -- my SS which I didn't ride today.



The Ride:
I thought I was imagining things when I was climbing and the rear would just 'spin out' but the tire never seemed to lose traction.

JSA II -- the Banshee


Well the hand seemed to do OK and the skills didn't seem too rusty, but I only made it a couple of miles before I figured out my hub was cracked and I had to head back to the car.:(

Lucky for you I might have a wheel for you to borrow.

I've seen that before on the Thomson and know exactly how that happens.

The DT folks have very good customer service.

The three I've seen that happen to all occurred when the the bolts didn't get tightened in a cross pattern. The cracks didn't happen immediately but developed overtime.

Not saying you didn't just saying what I've seen before.
