grahamc Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 doing the final setup of the brakes, front ones finished, all good. Moved to the rear brakes and the one side is rubbing, bugger!! So I get the bright idea of spining the wheel while I listen closely to find out which side... bang!!! brand new clip in pedal smacks me in the head!! I now have nice cut on my forehead, some swelling and the missus absolutely balling herself at me...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heckler Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 i was once back pedaling the chainset cleaning the outer ring with my finger, then.. all of a sudden my finger got caught between the chain ring and the chain, putting 3 holes in my finger that hurt! one was straight through the nail.. And.. Been hospitalised twice with concusion, destroyed 2 helments as a result, snapped 2 frames, split a wheel in half (still have that) snapped a riser bar, broken my thumb - thats about it really.

JustGav Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 A good few years ago back in SA, was riding home on one of the silly racer bikes (I never wanted one but my dad insisted, he thought mountain bikes where a phase....), and my foot slipped off the silly metal pedal and it shot round and the leading edge decided to go through my achilles tendon at a pace and subsequently did a lot of damage...BOY that 2 mile ride home wasn't much fun. Just realized I must sound like a right HSSE nightmare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
