Looks like alot of deformation on rear section of outer air canA buddy just blew up his shock.
Split the air-can at the valve and spit the valve into his leg.
Landed a small step-down. Not a big hit by any means.
Not sure if can split first ejecting the valve, or if the valve let go and the can cracked on bottom out with no supporting spring.
Anybody seen anything like this?

ps - Maybe we need what have you broken on your body recently thread?
It was tight in there. I’ve tried a spud wrench that loosened it a bit but that did not work too well. Luckily the way it broke left a narrow “lip” protruding outside the bb shell that gave me enough purchase for large tongue and groove pliers.
Surprised to hear this, older ones I had lugs gone been impressed with new compound...
Definitely what it looked like the other day.broken star nut.

Whew...whenever I see that Jon has responded to this thread me and K-Woo get a little worried
Maybe switch to something not so failure prone?
Common sense has no place in here...
But is there such a thing?
No. No there is not.
This BB was in service for many good years, mostly on winter hardtails. But yeah, I am a talentless hack.
Actually, the two failures were *sort of* insert related. I believed the hype, and thought I was OK with stupid low pressures (18-22). It doesn’t work that way. I have gone back to DH or DD casing tires at slightly higher pressures.
They're pretty nice looking. It's that chunk off the corner that is causing a ruckus.
That little piggy hit the plastic surgeon, his ass didn't go to the store or go wee wee wee all the way home...
the toeboobs are normal sesamoids
This I learned on my last birthday, broke one on my fifth little pinky toe during a good party. Bitch still hurts when walking especially barefooted but is none existant while riding.
Put a plug in there and you're good to go on it again.
