Mechanical

We couldn't fix this one. Still can't believe I didn't hit the deck this morning when my crank broke on the second little hill of KGT. Everyone who saw this was quite surprised as was the shop mechanic. Thought I'd post a picture to document the catastrophic cabon fibre failure of my 4 year old FSA crank. I'm sure Lister will enjoy this one. I bought an Ultegra alloy replacement in case your curious. I'm now also almost looking forward to some rain so I can ride my steel bike. Cheers

i replaced my FSA with Dura ace last yr before the Whistler ride. the insert for the pedal shaft was coming out Seems like the metal ( aluminum) to carbon connections are a weakness


hope you did not get seriously hurt

I know some of the bike Co.s, cover frames for lfe and other parts for at least a year...I know MEC would probably take this back, even more than 3 years old???

Any people have other experiences taking back other deffective bike stuff we can learn from,
