umm, StevePrice... I don't think he bailed at all! lol I think his steertube bailed on him!

those stairs must've felt nice on the back Razz

landonkona (May 24, 2009 at 11:24)

i would be pissed

mattrox (May 30, 2009 at 14:37)

his steer tube is fine, if you look at the bike the forks are not snapped either, the handle bars snapped off the forks a still securly in the steer tube....give me neggies if you will, but thats wht i see

jac114 (May 30, 2009 at 14:42)

nope what i see is the top of the steerer tube has snapped..

B1LL15 (May 30, 2009 at 15:19)

i thnk that is what everyone sees (snapped steer tube)

mattrox (May 31, 2009 at 14:10) (Below Threshold) show comment

i see the handle bars snapped off, the forks still attched to the frame .

B1LL15 (May 31, 2009 at 16:56)

have you watched the entire video?

mattrox (Jun 1, 2009 at 10:05)

no i didnt....obvs i did, and i still see the same thing

jac114 (Jun 1, 2009 at 11:04)

In that case then do you know your arse from your elbow.. coz clearly that is the top of the steerer tube that has sheered.. yes the forks are still attached but think about it.. if the steerer tube has also bent it will not slide through the head tube will it.. thats why they have not dropped out

GeorgeBeardon (Jul 5, 2009 at 12:49)

mattrox you're very silly. what do you think the handlebars have snapped off from?

ouch, that really shouldn't happen to a bike!

alex-2 (Jun 9, 2008 at 16:59) (Below Threshold) show comment

No kidding, I don't like to touch a bike unless I know it's stronger than I am. One of the reasons I never ride XC bikes. If you're anything like me then you can't help having a little fun no matter what bike you're on, and with an XC bike that could be fatal. The scars from when my DJ bike split at the headtube will never go away, and I don't mean just mental scars. That's not right!
