well that is because of your riding style ton you ride like shite 😉
never snap anything, I have ding a rear rim once. Oh and I usually use the pedal to the very end 😉
As said everything break. I have seen one guy on here that have bent a HJ. I trash mine as much as I can even doing what people on here would call hard core XC going down small small step (1-1.2m high)and guess what, mine hasn’t break yet…
So as said shite happen. Bike are getting more and more technical, they need more and more attention to be able to work correctly so if you forget to check something and get some play in the bike failure like that can happen….
There is no such thing as “secret” in the bike industry. If a bike is too light it will break… If you cant ride or dont take care of your bike it will break too.
If you want a risk free life stop biking and start doing like SFB, pootling around big puddle to take some pictures of girls’ asses.
