Except now littered with carbon shards. Here's his take on it: "The first guy was going downhill fast and hit a big sharp pothole. His frame cracked in the BB area but it was rideable to get him to the next stop. I almost understand with that kind of impact, but I would have figured the tires and rim would have blown first. They seemed fine!
The second guy was a minute ahead of me on a downhill corner. He was a smaller/lighter guy. His right side chain stay collapsed into itself just like a telescope. It did not buckle out or in, just crunched about 3/4 of an inch. This pushed the wheel into the left side brake and frame causing it to lock up. He crashed, but was mostly ok. He said the frame was previously undamaged and it looked nice to me. Shocking to see a material just crush longitudinally! It had shards of carbon just poking out all around the crush zone. Both newer madones." Cheers, David "it isn't a contest. Just enjoy the ride." - Seth Vidal On Sat, May 17, 2014 at 8:04 PM, Philip Williamson < [email protected]> wrote: > I never did get to ride down the Little Nestucca River Road when I lived > up there.
