Time to jump your bike and finish the wheel off.

Dang, that sucks. You should send those pictures to the city.

That really sucks. The comment about sending it to the city is right. Most cities/counties have a number for reporting road hazards like this.

believe me I know How to bunny hop! ( ever Bunny hopped a set of rail road Tracks at 45 Mph ? , that isa rush! )

This is Massachusetts, pot holes is a way of life. and This wasn't in the city , it is just this section of road actually get a lot of traffic. anbd this section of road really needs a redesign. watter settles in it , and every winter the Frost heaves rip to pieces and every spring the town Patches it up !

and it is only the 2nd road rim I have cracked in 25 years. ( last one was in 1988 )

On my commute to school there was a set of tracks at the bottom of a hill. Launched them every chance I could get.

No... and I do realize that it is harder the bigger the bike.

I'm getting a CX bike.. we'll see how that works out!

@ the bike messenger world championships one year, i heard a story about a guy bunnyhopping 2' on a FIXED gear bike. that's seriously impressive.

 

[hooples3]

that really sucks!!!

most cities have a number to call to report such hazards... good luck trying to get them to pay for the damage though

I hoped up a 3-stair at school on my road bike thing. The people on my cycling team thought I was going to kill myself, but I somehow pulled it off. The seat slammed all the way down gave me very little clearance with straight legs.
