Tough year for equipment.....

I've had a tough year when it comes to equipment....

Earlier this year, my cross wheels started to pull themselves apart, so I had to replace them.

Then I broke a computer wire.

Next up, I bent my road frame.....

And now........ I've destroyed my rear Easton wheel. Could not believe it when I saw it. I was riding at Shelby Forest, and heard some rubbing on the first big climb of the day. When I got off the bike to check it out, the wheel was pulling itself apart. Spoke nipples had pulled themselves right through the rim. Unfortunately, the wheel would not even spin, so I ended up having to have a buddy go rescue me...



The wheel is still under warranty, so hopefully I'll get a replacement soon.
