I was just thinking tht other night, the only bike parts i have never broken are a stem, front hub or brakes (ive broken plenty of levers, but never a disc, caliper or canti) i guess ive never "broken" a tire, but worn plenty out. also never broken a bone

 

[ChrisRobin]

hmmmm...good post....

Oh, does 'broken stuff' also include warping or bending something beyond use?

Never broken:

-stem
-front hub
-seat
-bones
-a bike frame
-pedals
-bottom brackets
-disc brake calipers

Everything else I've pretty much broken or warped or stripped or blown.

Wow, now I'm starting to feel like I'm hard on parts.

I've never broken a disc brake caliper, front hub, or seat post clamp. Everything else has croaked at one time or another.

 

[dump]

never broken a sweat

[ChrisRobin]

I broke a shirt once or twice....do tears and rips in clothing count for 'broken stuff'???

 

[Shmoe]

Bottom Bracket

I used to be pretty hard on bikes (and poor).

 

[Tully]

[RaID]

Interesting post! I've never broken a whole bike minus a rear rim and rear derailleur, but I tend to overbuild my bikes a little. And ride like a wuss!

 

[Tully]

All I ever have broken is a fork, rear rim, chain, and bottom bracket.

 

[johnbrittain]

hmm, never done in a front hub, quick release, seatpost, a stem, or my chain guide.

I like this thread, I've broken lots of stuff.
A broken stem is the worst! I landed off a jump and fell over the front of the bike, but still had a hold of the bars. I didn't know what was going on, thought for a split second that I had broken both wrists. Crashing like that and still having a firm grip on the bars, try to imagine that.

Another time jumping into some rolling bumps, one side of the bars broke off as I held the grip. Smashed my face straight into the ground still holding the broken off grip.

Anyone ever have a a rear shock shaft come out of the shock body over a jump? You hear a weird sound then it's "uh oh" CRRAAAMMM!!!!!

Breaking pedal spindles off really sucks, smashed balls.
Same for crank arms and BB spindles.

I broke the drive pin off my profiles at the start of a bmx race. Over the bars lickety split!

Most of this stuff was years ago before there was good stuff available. Now I hardly ever break stuff.

 

[cali4niabiker]

Hmm... never broken a frame (I'm a lightweight @ 150 #s), front hub, stem, handlebar, and myself (do no broken bones count?) Everything else... I've sent to the dumpster or lying in the dirt along the trail waiting to be found by an expert *bike* archaeologist a couple years from now.

 

[KATSURAGI]

I've never broken.......

profiles
MAG 30's
Hadley
Pro taper
Thomson
King headset......

 

[crashing_sux]

Oops, missed one. I've also never broken a cassette.

 

[rockracing]

I've never broken a sweat ! (ok that sounded funneir in my head)

haven't really broken too much stuff.....

 

[Rockland]

I'm not gonna post what I haven't broken. It's one of those things ya know; if you say something has not broken, it's bound to happen to you now. All of you in danger now. Beware!

 

[w00dy]

If bmx bikes count:
front hub
seat post collar

 

[oly]

ive never broken a derailler cable......

Read the title!!!

 

[dromond]

hmmm....

stem
bars
derailleurs (dunno how those remain safe)
seatpost
cranks or bottom brackets
never torn a tire sidewall

If only I had such luck with frames and forks. I mean seriously I had the same bars, cranks and bb on like three frames that cracked!

 

[RD]

I've never broken my Imperial

 

[Yanick]

I feel bad to have broken a stem when so many others havent.

I havent broken
a hubs, a cassette
a disk or caliper,
bars
a cable housing
and... that`s pretty much it

until yersterday, I havent broke a BB, but it's done now

Edit: yeah, I never broken a seattube clamp either

 

[MMike]
