Bored at work and thinking about all the parts I have broken since I started this crazy sport. Wondering who is the biggest part muncher on Ridemonkey.

Frames broken=0 Cracks don't count imo
Handlebars busted=1 carbon dh bars snapped in half
Forks busted=1 Boxxer explosion lowers and both crowns broken
Wheels exploded/tacoed=0 just turn em square then replace rim
Helmets broken=0
Cranks/BB broken=0
Rear derailuers exploded= I lost count
Brake Lever Bodies Broken=4
Bones Broken=0
Major scars=1
Acl's/Mcl's sprains and tears=0
Rotors bent beyond repair=0
Scrapes/cuts and bruises=Countless
Chains snapped/bent=lost count
Shocks blown=0

Overall my list is pretty mellow I think for 4 seasons worth of downhilling.......knock on wood!

[SirChomps-a-Lot]

I wish I didn't have to replace broken crap all the time. I'm poor. At least I don't get my kicks racing jet-boats.

 

[bikenweed]

Does it strike anyone else as odd how some people take pride in breaking stuff? I get embarassed when things break, because about 75% of the time it's my fault the stuff broke.

 

[dexterq20]

toasted/taco'd wheels: 3 or 4
busted derailleurs: quite a few
platform pedals: 2 pair (bent spindles, etc.)
seats: 1
seatposts: 1
brake rotors: 1 or 2
shifters: 1
brake levers: 1
helmets: 1
