I broke my bike again!

I weigh about the same as you Simon and my rear wheel I believe is a Huffy rim. I found it on the side of the trail.
Man. I wonder if I can pack a spare rim in my tool pouch.
 
lol. i just got crashes on my mind. i read in da paper today,some guy just had a new front wheel put on his harly by the harley dealership, and they put the barings in wrong, the front wheel locked up at 80mph on the hwy, and he died. so ive been very "concious" all day..
 
That's it. We need a vendor to offer some SOLID wheels already. Spokes are so yesterday's technology.
 
yes thats a great idea! have to makeke it out of aluminum or somthing light tho....
 
I wonder if a happy time would mount in an army tank. I think you might be safe there.
Wow, I wonder if you had a few loose spokes and didnt know it. Im glad your still standing. Back to the drawing board.
 
That is horrible. :eek:
Did you gun the throttle while turning, while not leaning enough? That could happen if the wheels are under a fair amount of weight or stress.
Every time I do a quick u-turn on my Dog, I'll be thinking of that image. Good thing you're OK.

And Yes, the spoke is a dinosaur.

I was hardly giving it any gas at all.....
 
looking at that pic, is that where the seem is????? sure looks like it. if so, that is definately faulty manufacturing!!
 
I'm afraid this is the perfect example of "u get what u pay for"
No disrespect Simonator but yours is/was a cheap bike....everything about it is cheap so when u combine that with cheap and made in China then your in prime "cheap & lethal" territory.
Glad u wern't injured and i think u have an excellent case for free replacement but your just replacing something substandard with something else substandard.
If i know any backyard bicycle repair guys go to them and get a descent wheel(preferably wheels) with solid hubs and atleast 14G S/S spokes,dual-walled if u can afford them.......DON'T trust that original front wheel.
We can ALL learn from this,so in a twisted sorta way you've done us all a service. :)
