Was out on Yeti few years back when my COOK BROS post came unfixed at the top :shock: Was like sitting on a swivel chair...
Think a lot of the old cnc stuff used to break...Nuke proof hubs always cracked mine were no exemption! CRAP

Mmmm, think think it's not much wich I can remember

- Shimano bottom bracket of a cannondale Killer V
- Rear suspension of a ProFlex 754
- Deraillieur + broken hanger of a Principia MacSL
- Spokes in rearwheel of a GT Zaskar
- Broke myself because of a leaking Rock Shox Sid 98

And scratched a new build up Principia MacB wich a parked against a wall. A horrible scratched sounded and I was that pissed of it that I parted the bike allmost imediately, no fun anymore....
