Why am I seeing so many tubes listed here - I forgive you if your a crazy arse DH rider, but otherwise go tubeless.

As for what I have wrecked, as per page one or two the bank. I turn bikes over too quick to break many parts :)

You can recycle that aluminum you know, might even get a few bob for it.

3 XT rear mech's
Shit load of tubes
Snapped a X9 rear mech.
At least 6 tubes.
I got a pile of 9 tubes in the shed that have already been patched multiple times, and they are all waiting on more patches!
Bent my hangar many times
8 x tubes
1 x jockey wheel
1 x Super short cage XTR rear mech
1 x derailleur hanger
and a heap of tyres
Deore XT rear derailleur.
Cracked a cassette
possibly bent an XO, but i dont know if that was me, or the guy i bought it of.
Many, many tubes (tubeless might be worth it just for the savings in new tubes when I get to lazy to patch the damn things..)
Lots of tubes
1x X9 Mech

Oh thank God for my Zerode and tubeless tyres.
One spoke(today FFS).
One Atom Lab Pimp Lite rear rim that's cracked and flat spotted that just won't totally die dang it.
Some ESI grips, still lasted ages though.
My seal on my Avalanche shock, and maybe now my 888s have started leaking dang it. The 888s are probably just excess grease on the seal from me having them apart though
I mainly just scratch the shit out of stuff.

i have kept all my old parts in the carvan out the back. AKA storage room. i was amazed it was still there after yasi cosidering my bike shed fell over on my bike and a tree fell on the shed my dh frame(2004 norco vps drop) which i was going to build up got scratched on the rear triangle from the tin sheets. so i sold it for $50 because i coulnt afford to build it up. she went to a good home.
