I swear you break a bike every three weeks.

Coincidentally I only ride every three weeks or so

Just the wheel I hope? ?

Ugh. Hope it’s not too far from civilization.

Maybe you should buy the crappiest beater bikes you can find at garage sales and invest the savings in good running shoes?

Yikes. Are you at least in one piece?

Looks like tacos for lunch.

Get a good 36 spoke three-cross laced wheel to prevent future tacos. It’s a little heavier, but better than walking.

Once managed to do that to the front forks

TBH, you’d say the same thing if you went there in an allroad.

That will not buff out. But on the flip side you now get to jump on your wheel in an attempt to get home.

I was shocked, never had anything like that happen since I’ve been riding

A little sore from bouncing off the ground. . About 1 mile from home

I am. It was fairly low speed right at a hard right turn

I’ve never tacoed a front, but I have tacoed several rear wheels. I can’t land straight to save my life. I went with a custom 36-spoke Deep-V as a replacement and I haven’t tacoed once since.

I’m looking forward to the rest of your story.

140 spokes or go home.

Ya it’s really not exciting. I came down a hill into a hard right, hard on the brakes then hard on the ground. No scrapes or cuts, just the feeling that I got wacked with a bat a couple times

Hit a root or something? Or did you just put a little too much sideways force on the wheel?

OPPOsaurus WRX > TheRealBicycleBuck 06/16/2018 at 19:50

I dunno. It was very weird. It is a path I take all the time. I wast even pushing it very hard

I’ve endoed when my bars were grabbed by vegetation and they got flicked sideways. I didn’t really know what happened until my riding buddy pointed it out . I even managed to flip myself when I first got v-brakes. Someone stepped off the sidewalk in front of me and I didn’t want to crash into her, so I ended up crashing myself.

I’m sure you’ll figure it out. Maybe it will come to you in a dream. :)
