Lots of wheels, some stems and cranks, and a Raleigh Activator II on the Malvern Classic downhill, if anyone remembers it. 😆

Folded a steel bar on my carrera jumping off a wall at my school, all downhill from there 😆 Answer alu bar at fort william, a bunch of mechs, a manitou swinger shock, an exotic and a thomson seatpost, a 32mm boxxer top crown, a flow and a flow ex rim (on the same hub), and a traversee and LB rim (also on the same, different hub), and a 719 and a pair of 721s that cracked to buggery. Oh and every major frame component on my hemlock over the space of 5 years. Not too bad really. Some of the stuff I’m still using, I think some people would declare to be dead but they still work

Also resurrected a Soda- bought it cracked, got it fixed- and a couple of sets of forks, I guess that offsets it a bit!

In the last 3 years, 4 frames and one rear rim.

rear mechs, loads of the bloody things, apart from that, almost nothing, must be a mincer. Makes me think I could get away with lighter kit if I wasn’t so tight.

Not really.Whilst riding I’ve had a couple of mech hangers go , a banjoed rear disc and a snapped seat post.
I think I’ve lost more bloody rear lights than mechanicals tbh….

In 8 seasons of Alpine guiding, I’ve broken:

1 frame
1 fork
2 swingarms
2 rims
2 hoses (1 brake, 1 reverb)
1 rear mech (worn out a few more)
1 mech hanger
3 freehubs
1 shifter
Maybe half-a-dozen spokes

Can’t think of much else that isn’t more-or-less consumable.

A few chains, a brake lever, a couple of mechs, a couple of sets of cranks (worn them out). Not a lot really.

Kona Unit frame (crumpled down tube)
Kona Explosif scandium frame (cracked around top tube/seat tube junction)
Rocky Mountain ETS70 frame (cracked seat tube)
Snapped (aluminium) handlebars
Seized rear hub after worn out cartridge bearing fell apart
Snapped v brake lever
Cracked cassette body on Hope Ti-glide hub
Bent seatpost

Not counting all the worn out bearings, rims etc.

Not too many things for about 16 years of serious riding.

Over the past 20 years or 1 frame, 4 forks (2 sets of rigid), 1 hope xc front hub, 1 hope xc rear hub, 4 sets of cranks, numerous pedals, 3 rear mechs.

Not too bad since I used to do a lot of dirt jumping and downhill.

EDIT I forgot a set of brakes

GT Zaskar LE Frame – Snapped at the head tube had been ridden/jumped to death
Spooky Metalhead Frame – snapped at the head tube – hit the back of a parked car
Sun Mammoth Rim – Dirt Jumping
Proshift Rear Mech – Jumping up a ledge
4 Pairs of Pace RC30 Trials Forks, well not broken, but the crown ovalised were the legs screwed in, i think they were just a bad design

cannot think of anything else I’ve broken (apart from my Leg in May) and they were all 10-15 years ago

bent a mech hanger at the Mega, but they are meant to bend, bushings are bearings don’t count surely

never bust a mech with general riding, nor snapped a spoke, don’t really buy junk so maybe something to do with that?

Suppose it depends. I wore out a deore BB in 6 hours. Well, probably about 4 hours but I managed to get it to last to the end of the day.
