What Stuff Have You Broken?

Recommended Posts

It's been a while, but here's the list that I can remember:

about 3 sets of cranks of varying make/model.

2 sets of forks

2 frames (headtube weld both times)

More chains than I can remember (finally solved this by getting a lawnmower chain)

At least 3 axles

Many spokes

About 3 crank bolts (great fun to remove the remaining bit)

About 3 or 4 different saddle rails

Something of the order of 20 or more saddle bolts, AND COUNTING (I have mine in a weird position that stresses the bolt and the rails)

1 pair Wellgo cage pedals (that then became a home-made chainstay for the front ring!)

1 pair Monty cage pedals

1 pair DMR V8 copy pedals

Far too many Magura lines

3 or 4 freewheels

1 Rear hub

Sheared the sprocket thread off the replacement for the above hub

At least one headset

Oh and about 2 or 3 rear casettes (always wore 3rd out ;) )

Bear in mind that all of that was spread over 3 bikes (2 stock, 1 mod) over a period of about 3 or 4 years. I was also doing dirt/jumping on the stocks (me and my oldschool 32-tooth bashring, haha!). I don't think there's any pics of that little lot, although I have a pic of one of one of my stocks and my mod knocking around somewhere. I'll see if I can dig 'em out.

I don't think Zoo existed when I was doing all that snapping ;)

As far as I can remember the only dedicated trials bike companies were Megamo and Monty back then. MTB makers were just starting to bring out dedicated trials frames...ah I'm reminiscing again. Somebody stop me.

Well i have snapped a couple of things but its only been a couple of freewheels and a rear hub so if anythings to go it ill be in this order:

1). My pedals (really weak and starting to bend)

2). The stem, I am not really sure why the stem but it feels like it will fall apart haha.

3). Freewheel, ive been through about 3 of these

4). Frame, I really hope i do not snap this, its my pride and joy.

thats all of them that i can think of i won't go into to much detail because ill go through loads of bikes till i quit haha so i hope i dont snap anything untill i have a job.

Here's the bars i snapped at doneys yard at the open day!!!!! and yes i went down like a bag of sh*t >_<

And you name it in the 9 years i've been riding trials i've broken it.... frames, forks, brakes, bars, stems. cranks, hubs, rims, spokes, chains and the best one i did was strip 9 teeth of a 18 tooth rear cog!!!!!

the bars were the last thing and before that it was pulling a hose out on the front magura a year a go.....
