i guess he cased a huge triple at a track and cracked his rear hub and broke all of his spokes.

... how hard do you have to land to crack a hub? seems like his legs should be mush

tigmaster · 06-20-2008, 06:42 PM

So lots of people crack hubs replacing wheel bearings. It doesn't take too much load.

turtlemann14 · 06-20-2008, 06:48 PM

replacing bearings... not landing
they are cast no?

gscx · 06-20-2008, 09:36 PM

well the spokes should really make the hub stronger if the are all tight. it had probly been a while since he checked them. and one reson he probly didnt get hurt was because he came down at the same angle of the laning ramp. this probly kept him from flipping over his handlebars and then his shocled up a big as hit. LUCKY
