cheeky repost for the morning shift

i found this on the "keel" of my trance last night.
apparently the unearthly crack of a rock coming up off the front wheel wasnt a "narrow escape" afterall.

oops!

i dont think its structural, being Allux, the materials probably about a foot thick there anyway.

Show me your dents!

ones that retired the bike and ones that you still ride with.

Rarely ever get an impact, but I bought an NRS frame with a bigger dent than that in the same location. I'll grab a photo later 🙂

Ive got loads of dents and keep riding. A dent is just a reshaping of the tube, it a crack that Id worry about. Also a dent is localised, so unless its big enough to reshape over half the tube Id not worry about it.

"Still ride it?" Bah, a meer flesh wound, course I do. This is English tractor metal we're looking at here.
