Seths Pool Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Happened on Friday at practice at RPR for the enduro. 34t oval. Name brand chainring. Never hit a rock. Shifted to hardest gear in beginning of “right flow” stage, cranks locked up, almost went OTB, saved it and looked down to that 90* bend They are warrantying it. The manufacturer hypothesis is that maybe my chain started to come off the top of the chainring right as I shifted to the hardest gear and then as I cranked, the Chainline being to the hardest gear on the cassette just folded the ring laterally outward. Crazy! But I had extra chainrings at home so I was able to get back in business before the race. What a kick ass event! Texas enduro Cup Reveille Peak Ranch is one of the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you find a spot on the podium? Regarding the chainring, they really need to start making those from carbon 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regarding the chainring, they really need to start making those from carbon man I had a great day but crashed on the last stage full commando. hit a rock that completely just stopped my bike and I went OTB, was fine but jumped up and finished the stage with crooked stem/handlebars. I got 8th/30 with a crash. I'll take that. was a super fun event regardless! doesnt get much funner than the texas enduro scene 1 hour ago, CrossPlane said: That's insane!

Sent from my CMR-W09 using Tapatalk yeah, I dont wanna name them because they are a great company that makes great products, and I have a buddy who works for them. crazy stuff just happens sometimes. I will still continue to rock their stuff. this was more of a display of the buckner beatdown saga rather than the integrity of their products. they make nice parts, and are handling it gracefully 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
