I was wondering how many parts and how much money I have done in parts in the last four or so years when my riding started getting a bit more agressive.
Here we go-
Intense Tazer HT Cracked at seat tube top tube junction
Corsair Maelstrom Cracked on bottom of seat tube, may have been like that since new
On-One 456 Bent frame and cracked on chain stay
Syncros DS28 Taco'd on a front wheel landing
Pace Fighter Cracked at bond
Manitou Black punched the bush out of location
Kowa 160ss Three steerers loose in crowns
Controltech House carbon bar cracked at clamp area
Pro Vanderham bars Bent when forks bottomed
Atomlab Cr-Mo bars Bent two sets, one bent checking for travel the other bent upwards while pedalling
Middleburn cranks Bent two sets, they are ****!
Race FaceAltas XC cranks Bent while riding XC on my DH bike.
DMR Ex Type cranks bent
Dark Cycles Arachnid pedals Bent axle
Burgtec Penthouse MkIII Snapped axle
Magura Julie Brake Caliper Snapped mounts
Saddles X3 at least bent or broken rails
.243 Seat Post Snapped Two head mounting thingies
FSA CR-MO Headset Cracked 3/4 of the way around the lower cup
Hope 150mm Axles Snapped two
Maxle Bent when Hope axle snapped
Deore Cranks Bent, knew it was going to happen but they were free so didn't care.
Strailine Pinch Stem Too flexy for me, got stess marks everywhere after a crash.
Cane Creek Headset(not sure on model) Busted lower bearing
Corsair Maelstrom Snapped pivot bolt
I missed last years race season so the list would have grown a little bit I think, all my bikes seem to be pretty indestructible now so 2012 will hopefully see few parts added to the list.
Is my list pretty normal, or is everyone else a bit easier on their gear?
