That looks... less than ideal.
What have you broken on your bike recently?

Two more days to enter the Secret Santa!
Entries must be in by midnight on November 29th. We're kicking off the 2024 Secret Santa! Exchange gifts with other monkeys - from beer and snacks, to bike gear, to custom machined holiday decorations and tools by our more talented members, there's something for everyone.
No joke, thats not supposed to fail like that!
No...
At least he didn't have to ride Poppin' Tops.
JHFC I loathe that trail and I judge people harshly who like it.
I don't ride there enough to know the trail. Maybe I should go to the west side more often...
So I took it apart again and yeah these pawls were all numbered 1, 2, 3 and 4 as well. Also did not find any difference in them, in length, tooth size etc.
Though the pawls that cracked and broke (2 cracked, 1 split in half), the ones that came on my recently purchased microspline freehub, do seem be more "grainy" looking metal. Compared to shiny pawls in the XD driver that came with the hub from 2018/2019.
I can't recall if mine looked different but the second set I put in looked as if they had some sort of electroplate or case hardening that started flaking off in no time at all.
Your hub shell looks to be as poorly finished as mine too, mine looked like it had a clear coat over the ano to try to hide the rough machining on the flanges.
They say all their products have a lifetime warranty on them. I think they'll stand behind it.
I bought used, so not original owner. They offered to sell me a crank arm for $100, but I was ready to move away from carbon cranks.
Oof.
nail polish was invented for those kind of nails
My third pair of VP 133-DH pedals died today, after a moar than respectable 10 years of service. Bought 4 pairs for 14 bucks each off eBay 14 years ago. I still have a pair in my spinning bike and another one stored as a backup.

Something blew in my DHX2. It looks like high speed compression adjustment has pushed the o-ring out.
a parent dropped by the other day with a cheap bike he'd bought for his kid on amazon and attempted to put together himself.
The bike arrived with the fork backwards and no assembly instructions and he's certainly not alone in unwittingly putting his kids bike together with the fork back to front.
But this bike has front hub with a SCREW ON disc adapter. So take a guess guess what happens when you brake?
Cunts selling this shit need a fucking slap!
After E THIRTEEN obviously.

Damn sure I had never seen that kind of floating rotor before.
edit : looks like you could have tightened that lower brake mount bolt a bit more there, @Gary
Edit- nope they dont fit…
Bent an E13 direct mount. Anyone know if the shimano ones fit?
Look similiar, shimano has one ‘tooth/spline’ missing verse the E13 ones. Hard and expensive to find the E13 ones.

Contact E13. The one good thing about the company is their customer service. They're actually very helpful and quick with warranty replacement.
I didn't think I was at fault with my Novatec 'Premium' hub failure.
Cleaned it up today and saw that the drive ring wasn't quite straight, luckily for my hub my hacksaw had been resting for a bit and was keen for some action!
Seems the drive ring was pressed in clocked wrong and at an angle, the double whammy.
Gave the front wheel away because it made me angry looking at the Novatec piece of shit.
Yes I am a child.

Speaking of E13. Anyone on their LG1 DH wheels? I need a new rear wheel and this seems like a really good deal. LG1 Plus Downhill 7 Speed Wheels - 29" Rear (ethirteen.com)
I like how you are being proactive by using this thread.
I haven't broken my E13 enduro cranks yet.
I've been rocking the LG1 Race carbon DH wheelset for about three seasons now. Overall, I don't have much to complain about. Had a little trouble taping them once, but I think it was just my mistake. I've got cushcores on both ends. I've had to swap out the rear hub and freewheel bearings a couple of times. Replacing the wheel bearings was a bit of a challenge. Also, I'm running a Saint 10-speed setup instead of the usual 7-speed.

I think my DT 370 is getting borked (slipping under severe load).
Anyone familiar with those internals?
I am pretty familiar with 240/350’s, but not those.
