Sam Hill took a case in practice in 2010 near the Deer Gate and this is what remained of his bike. The prescription was 2 new wheels and a fork lower swap too.

 yeah they look like DT Swiss EX 1750's. Not strictly a DH rim, and clearly completely collapsed...oops..
  • 12
 how weird would that be? not picking the right rim for the job? :S
  • 40
 all about the weight my aid ship boarding friend ;D

 holy shiiiiiiiiiit!!!!!! congrats sam hill! that takes talent to screw up a 10,000 bike like that!!!!

 there was me thinking only chuck norris was capable of this level of desruction...
  • 41
 Aren't those AM rims anyways?
  • 41
 yes, I believe they are
  • 50
 Either way Pro DH'ers are really pushing their bikes to the max, so, hard to tell what caused the crash...
  • 10
 should have used mavic ex823's.. not saying his rims are what caused him to crash, but would have saved him some damage on his bike.

 NEXT ONE PLEASE

 I woulda thought he'd be running tubeless...
  • 10
 very few people on the wc circuit run tubeless
  • 10
 Especially on Fort William. They have lost a fair amount of air by the bottom of the track apparantly.
  • 41
 DAMN shun. That is brutal. Shake it off Sammy.. even the best of us fall.
  • 10

 is that prototype ? demo8 + Sx-Trail ?
  • 20
 That's what I thought. It IS the prototype. I found this guy who has photo's of it, and it looks kinda as if (call me f-ed up) it was a piece of the new Batman's armory or something Big Grin

 i wonder why he´s riding the old g2 rotors...
  • 20
 why not? g2 are very good, but i think there could be g3 - he has Elixir breakes
  • 10
 that´s why i wondered. he has elixir calipers but definitely rides the old g2 rotors. furthermore sram says, that the g3 rotors are much better than the old ones...
  • 10
 hmm, maybe Sam just likes g2? a lot of people ride on them, so they are not so bad i think : ) may the "bad and old" rotors weren't the reason of accidentBig Grin
  • 10
