Are these failures or crash fatalities?

Either way, I'm still not comfy with CF bits.

there was an aluminum rim in there too.

I don't want this to turn into a CF bashing/CF supporting thread. I just thought about how bad it would suck to break a crank mid-sprint.

I hear you. I wasn't trying too...just stating my own personal feeling.

Losing a chain in a sprint is bad enough...I don't want to imagine losing a crank arm and the height of the melee. :eek:

I remember seeing the story behind the Parlee - a kid crashed it at collegiate national crit championships. Hit a lightpost or something...

If I'm not mistaken, the time and stronlight cranks broke while pedaling. One can search weight weenies for more info.

Grant, an enzo got hit yesterday during a shot for some film.

my guess is a roof rack, since if looks like the bars where yanked back,
not forward. I wonder what story he gave his riding buddies about
what happened to his bike?! ouch.
