3.1cutlass Posted November 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 What'd you break? Derailleur hanger. Snapped it in half when i fell off a skinny board and landed right on the chain tensioner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trouble Maker Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 I think I may have bent my hanger or derailleur, had to adjust it quite a bit at the shifter part of the way through the day. Need to check that when I get a chance. I did definitely bend my brake lever and one of my seat rails. I've not broken that much on my bike in the few years I've ridden, but this is the second seat I've broken by bending the seat rail. Any bomb proof seats that you know of? I might just try to take the rail off, heat it up and bend it back, but I'm not sure if I trust that or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say to look at a more jumping or downhill seat. I have that bontager earl and it has an 8mm rail. Look for something like that with a thicker seat rail.

Trouble Maker Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 I'm also using the stock seat post and should probably change to something with longer channels for the rails. Pretty sure I remember this seat having chromly rails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
