So the new ride has been eventful
arriving chipped, losing its star nut under little to no torque, broken brakes, and then today
today the chain snaps under load as i set off from a roundabout, sending me in to the path of on coming cars, farking my knee up pretty badly (granted not as bad as CWNT) but its still painful and now i need a new chain............
FML
what can't i just have a bike that i can ride without shizzle breaking!

They say it comes in 3s (that's like my obvious). So hopefully that's all the shlt out of the way now leaving nothing but pure awesomeness (also, like my obvious).0

Maybe it's God's punishment for buying a sh1tty hardtail :-)"I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered." [George Best]0

I think its gods punishment for him touching himself0

You snapped the chain due to awesome power in your legs (or maybe your a fat ferker)0

I blame WiggleVisit Clacton during the School holidays - it's like a never ending freak show.
Who are you calling inbred?0 -
No no hardtails are for guys who already have a full sus but the the necessary skills not to need one!
New chain today I think but the question is which one? Do I need a stronger chain being <=17st? Hmmm0 -

To be honest it's prob a choice of components,
I don't ride with what alot of people on here recommend, why? because people are obbsessed with weight, when to me strength and stifness is more important. Fr components or leighter Dh stuff is definately what you want and a fun hardtail that you want to smash about0 -
