Ouch! Bummer. This has got to earn you an official nickname though.
"Crash"
"Bender"
Anyone come up with something else?

Might want to ask Lefty about a similar story... haha!!! Oh and Cade, i've been on the lookout for a new front wheel for my road bike sooo maybe we could chat.

Lefty said...

That's brutal to see! Cringing.

Welcome to OneSource Cycling, Cade. You have now officially been added to our contributors list!

Not only that, but I'm going to say that this post qualifies as a "Classic Must Read Post" . . . a signpost warning along the way for all us . . . Rabbit

Over the long haul, I think we're going to need you to create your own google identity or at least change that posting handle. Not sure posting under your wife's handle "Joy" is going to fly . . .

Yo welcome Captain Crash. You can have it. It was my nickname for years.

Lefty said...

Advice given to me after I had my "accident" was to take my bike into a shop and have them check for damage to the frame.

Jeff Martin said...

Good points lefty. Warranty departments are typically helpful if you have a frame failure... Motobecane should be decent.

Dodged this bullet just a few weeks ago and several times before. Way close recently.

I believe every one of my family members has done it so welcome to the club!

Did your wheel bury into the plaster foam shape? It looks like that in the pic...

Thanks Lefty. I did take it in and there were actually two cracks in it. Bummer for USAA who insures Captain Crash. However, on the bright side, I bought a new S works E5 and rode it for the first time today! Thing can climb. Silver lining I guess.
Yes, Jeff, the wheel buried into the plaster which is the only thing that kept the bike and steel rack from falling onto the hood of our car.
