Breaking Things
So far, here’s the list of non-consumable stuff I’ve broken, clapped out or lost this year (counting last cross season):
- ARAYA rear wheel (donkeyed rim and broken spokes)
- Ritchey front wheel (donkeyed and dented rim)
- ALX rear wheel (donkeyed rim)
- FSA rear wheel (my worn down brake shoes “lathed” a nice deep gouge into the rim, not sure if its safe to use)
- DT Swiss hubs (seized up)
- road handlebars (sheared in half)
- road stem (cracked)
- MTB brake lever
- Salsa locking MTB grip
- RockShox Reba 29er forks
- set of aero bars (stripped out bolt-hole threads)
- every pair of cycling shorts I own
- every pair of gloves I own
- 1 longsleeve BIKEMAN jersey bit the dust
- the “Big Air” I lost at the Glocester Grind when I ran over Chuck
- all my blinkie lights and a multitool that I dropped somewhere when my saddle bag was open
For some reason, my wife does not find this humorous.
