Don't say I never do nothin nice for ya, Bob.
I'm struggling to take a better photo.
Apparently, it's common for 7800 cranks to have a curved line in that spot, but I figure cracks develop along the join mark (or whatever it is), but mine sure looks like a crack.
Ha!! Did they show that up there?Originally Posted by CAMPYBOB
Bugger...reminds me of the Toyoda truck commercial from Oz.
Hmm, I could way be wrong, but that might be paint movement at the crown/blade joints, assuming there any on those forksOriginally Posted by Volnix
...and what a crash that would be.
Unfortunately, for your theory, the components held together very well yesterday. I even hit 29 MPH at one point and held the speed for a good while. Of course I think I had a 30 MPH tailwind.Originally Posted by CAMPYBOB

Uh...what happens between you and the dog STAYS in Tennessee! But yeah...so much better than Swampy's Ass-less chaps.
Speaking of Swampy...I hope he's out in the Kaleefornya sunlight carefully inspecting his cracked shitmaNO **** he rides. JH, better get out on that deck and look for cracks in your shitmaNO. You shouldn't need a magnifying glass.
I would not enjoy reading that either of you crashed due to your components failing.
Volnix, Get that looked at by your friendly local Spesh dealer. That looks like the fork blade-to-fork crown joint may be moving (causing the paint to fracture). Not a good sign.

I think you have the manufacturer and the word wrong. I heard it was merda, merda, merda.Originally Posted by CAMPYBOB

Falling down a mine shaft while drafting a semi with a tailwind doesn't count.
Besides, everyone knows shitmaNO is programmed to fail on the 505th time you exceed 46.5 MPH...unless you ride in the city. In which case it's the start away from your 5,005th traffic light stop. Amazing the miniaturization that allows a crack propagation device to be implanted right in the aroominumb. Sneaky bastards.
I have it on good authority that riders with particularly good hearing claim that right before they slammed into the road they heard, "Tora! Tora! Tora!".
I spend more time riding my bike that looking at it. A 400km ride last week, double century this coming weekend, 600km mid June and a double century with 21,000ft of climbing at the end of June. If I did those on Camapg, the alloy pedal inserts would fall out by months end and the rear craptastic brake would be wondering why it was asked to stop from 60mph when all that brake is good for is casual riding too and from the coffee shop for an espresso... The EPS front mech would have snapped my seattube in two and made the bottom bracket fall off. Whether or not the bottom bracket would have snapped, a la The Fignon Picture, is another matter entirely. Kids, just say No to Campag-NO-lo. Most Americans can't pronounce Campagnolo properly anyway. It'd be fun to work in a bike shop that sold the stuff so I could take the **** out of everyone that tried to fake an Italian accent whilst saying it...CAMPYBOB said:Quote by JH: "[COLOR=181818]Dura-ass sounds like some type of dog proof bibs."[/COLOR] [COLOR=181818]Uh...what happens between you and the dog STAYS in Tennessee!

Most intelligent thing you've said throughout the thread.Originally Posted by swampy1970

Hey, Bob. I'm having a "discussion" with some weight weenies about cartridge hubs versus 'real' hubs; in other words, real hubs vs overpriced Zipps.Originally Posted by CAMPYBOB
