[Quoten]i blew my rebound and compression in my pike lol

i have some parts to list though:
juicy 7's
domain 318 IS
argyle 409
premium pedals
stylo cranks
gravity lite cranks
hadley hubs[/Quoten]
Theres been many broken 409 (bent)And gravity lite cranks i have seen broken a few times also.

Im not sure if the 07's came with CrMo steerers, but I have not seen an argyle 409 bent with an aluminum one. Thats not to say that it has not happened though.

Some other parts that I had not listed before:

Hadley hubs
Shimano XTR derailleur(pre 07) Used for 3 seasons for DH, crashed on several times, and still shifts like a dream
Mavic 721 for street and dirt use, with a good build

- Galfer sintered metallic pads for my Hayes - turns mediocre into EPIC, they have more material on the pads so will last longer too!!!

- FSA headsets have always been fit and forget no hassle and cheap parts for me, namely the FSA Big-fat-Pig-DH 1.5r and FSA Pig-Pro-DH headsets.

- Also Bombshell Fat/Big daddy rims - cheaper than Ex729's and much more durable so far!

P.s. in reference to (EDIT) ' jeremygosse' recommending Domain 318IS forksThumbs Down Thumbs Down , I beg to differ, the rebound damping on mine has failed after 1 year of occasional use (as I had two bikes) and they now top out no matter what setting they're on - of course I can't show you a picture of this as proof though; but I can show you a picture of someones broken ones:

EDIT: Would also strongly recommend that DMR v8 pedals be removed, I've personally ended up owning 3 pairs and 2 of my friends have themThumbs Down Thumbs Down Thumbs Down Thumbs Down Thumbs Down , every pair rattles after 1 month of use and needs new bearings because they crack when loose, and the paint doesn't last 2 seconds.

Also the bolts strip easily on ODI grips if you have to remove them more than twice, a good product if you do fit and forget it, but not if you ever have to take them off! I own 2 pairs so - Thumbs Down Thumbs Down

sorry mate, would also like to reinforce that the domain isn't fit and forget as the Maxle system comes loose easily and frequently needs checking = not fit and forget by any means!

Its not for us to decide anyway, but I'm not the only one who has problems with Maxle!
EDIT: the problem is that the Maxle lever is very easily turned when knocked, after this it comes loose - Rockshox even warn in their fork's manuals against not touching/re-positioning the lever in anyway at all after tightening it as they are aware of this problem, I hate it when a mfr knowingly designs a product with problem and expects the consumer to just cater for it.Really Mad

Have YET to have any problems with my maxel. All of my friends maxels work fine to. I've yet to see one come loose. If it comes loose that easily, I think you have something set up wrong.

It comes loose easily if knocked, my local trails have a lot of shrubbery that brushes the forks, this has knocked the lever a few times and it therefore shortly afterwards comes undone, If you don't knock it, I don't expect it will come undone.

i think the p2 should be here because if you do find a way to break it, it has the lifetime warranty. (i'm not sure if that counts...)
