How's this for a bush fix: A clubmembers crank snapped off halfway through an century ride in the alps between summit 2 and 3. Another participant stopped and offered to help. He produced a numer of zip-ties and this was the result: That crank held up nicely until the finish line and has thus conquered the Bernina pass.

That L-shaped bracket that supports the bottom of the water bottle would snap in half right at its 90° bend whenever I hit a modest bump. And always the cage mounted on the seat tube. Tacx even sent me a handful of replacement L-brackets, but when those started snapping too they cut me off completely. I don't know how anyone can get 14 years out of a Tao cage! It's too bad, because when they work I do like them a lot: Very easy to get bottles in or out, but never seem to jettison a bottle unintentionally. Weird. |

I don't exactly baby these things... maybe the manufacturing process has changed? Oh well, I just bought a new set for another bike. We'll see how they hold up.
