Sure that's not how its supposed to be?Took my rear wheel off to check out a slow leak I have at the moment.
Went downhill from there when my cluster fell off!
Seems I might have broken the axle lol. Shit
Now the race is on to find something in time for a Bright trip this weekend.

I snapped a dt axle like that a few years ago. I definitely noticed a lot of flex, but it was a QR hub.Sure that's not how its supposed to be?
Either way put it back together and pretend you never saw it.
Nah, can feel the final burr were it was just hanging on, otherwise a very clean breakSure that's not how its supposed to be?

YepGiant hub?
What cadence are you spinning for that average speed?Went for a pedal yesterday - I'm almost fit enough to go for a training ride with Moorey.

Actually - went for a lap of Lysterfield with some mates and was close to death at the end. I did enjoy a 2 hour nap when I got home. An my bike gear came off the line pre-ironed when I got up.
Wow. That top line is till a big drop. Is the regular to the left with that looks like a ledge to come off?Yep, I chickened out today on the regular one but that is the higher line and means you hit the landing on an angle.
Yeah the ledge also slightly obscures the lander too, totally a mind game, before hitting this I'd never dropped something that blind. On the day I didn't even roll up to the edge as I'd seen it before, instead I focussed on watching the guy who was giving me some guidance land it a few times and then just decided I could land it and went.Yeah the main line has a rock ledge and you can practically fall of it and make the lander. It's all psychological your riding and just seeing sky till you hit the lip, I'm happy to hit dodgy drops and trails but not blue sky for some reason. Brains are funny things when they are trying to protect themselves.
Given up riding around the river, too many people who either take up too much space or hoon around.View attachment 371305
Another cruisy 43km river ride this morning. Quite pleasant aside from the behaviour of quite a few cycling groups.
I’m really puzzled how they expect patience, courtesy and respect from drivers on the road, but can’t provide same to pedestrians and recreational cyclists when they’re on the shared paths.
Some Giant hubs are OEM DT Swiss, aren't they? I'll see if I can find a link.Nah, can feel the final burr were it was just hanging on, otherwise a very clean break
That is my secondary plan, I had noticed a bit of movement of the last ride or two thought the bearings were just on their way out, this must have been it haha.

Yep
I don't understand how that can happen without also snapping the through axle?Took my rear wheel off to check out a slow leak I have at the moment.

No idea either! Seems like a fatigue failure as it's a clean break most of the way though. But not sure how it would have been moving around enough to do this with a through axle through the middle of it. Checking the DT diagrams it does seem to be a kind of notched axle that runs all the way through.I don't understand how that can happen without also snapping the through axle?
