I go through bbs pretty good. I'm a big guy though. other then that? a few tubes (I run dh tubes cause IDFC about weight). greatest breakage was a giant ac frame, cracked the chainstay and the other side in the same spot

Well i usually go through 3-5 tubes a month cuz i usually get cheap ones and i have broken a few spokes also. Also a long time ago when i didn't really bike i went off this tiny jump with my 2004 hardrock and broke the crank.good timeslol

the funny part is. in the two years i've ridden, i've only popped a tube once, and that was from having it at max PSI and hitting the curb going relatively fast because i didn't jump high enough. probably broke the frame that day too (chain stay had a hairline crack).

never bent a derailleur, never broke a hanger, maybe broken 1-2 spokes, haven't snapped a chain. guess i'm just a lucky one. but now i bet i'm going to break everything from saying that Razz

becuase when you jump the derailer hanger is thrust down and that plus gravity and mass = breaking point thats my theroy however. its probably beucase you have a shit one. my friends dad got him 2 and he put on on it lasted a week. then he did a small jump in his back yard and he said it brok within 10 minutes and his dad belted him in the face. i think that last part is a lie though HAHA

or because the manufactures make them TOO weak... can make them a little stronger...
