on my bike- not one of my cars. it actually doesnt bother me that much; i havent had to put any money into my bike for the last 3-4 years really; and i managed to hold onto it and not eat shit after they broke. video of the gap and the aftermath:

That's crazy. I not only broke my DK at the gooseneck quite a few years back, but my 3 piece broke in the exact same way.

yeah- i used to love DK's shit- but ive broken just about everything ive ever gotten from them. i'll have to get some pics of my first year DK General Lee frame(only year that had pictures of the General Lee jumping on it). i broke all the way through the top wishbone holding the back end on. bummer too- i loved that bike.

I've never had a problem with profile cranks. Looks like the other guys just got done racing.

actually, back when i rode more and a lot harder, i broke both a set of Profile and GT 3-piece cranks. i'll probably end up going with those though- just because its getting pretty damn hard to find any other company that still makes American bottom brackets for bikes anymore; and i dont throw myself down shit like i used to.

as far as the other guys in jerseys; yeah, they never did a lot more than racing and maybe a bit of trail riding back in the day. its just in the last couple years they wanted to get back out and ride a bit more, so they went all the way with jerseys and what not. i told them fuck that- i was hot enough in a t-shirt.

ahahaha; those are my two friends after i came over with my new camera phone years back. they'd always act super gay around eachother to see who would freak out first. after a while, this is what ended up happening. regularly. some people here actually know the kid on top- Danny VII.

LOL... I used to do the "gay game" thing... until my buddy (Skye's brother, before me and Skye got together) stuck his tongue in my mouth and I punched him in the face. That was the last time I ever played that game LOL...

i dont think they ever do that; but it got to the point to where my friends would pretty much do anything to make other guys uncomfortable. i dont even want to think about it.
