I feel like George
Two days ago I was doing some acceleration stuff on my bike and I had what I like to refer to now as a George Hincapie experience. For all you who dont know, this is when a Trek product unexpectedly breaks/bends/snaps...etc, leaving the rider at the side of the road thinking, "How the hell did that happen?" Now don't get me wrong, I love Trek. It's just that lately they've had some "minor" issues. I realize, that on the grand scale, my problem was maybe a few notches down on the "oh crap" scale from what happended to Georgie, but I'm still pretty proud of it!
Here's some pics of my big chainring, it bent right over, almost half and inch!
And another.
So there is one for the books. We tried to bend it back, but it just won't hold a chain. The folks back at Riverbrook we good enough to order me one up so I can get back on the Road quick.
The season is coming ladies and gentlemen,
Chase

THat sucks man! I'm not going to lie but I think that bontrager cranksets are shitty. I'm looking at getting a new road bike this year and I'll probably end up with a 2200 like yours. The 06 model comes with a "full" ultegra group. Anyway keep riding hard.
That's how we roll! I guess that's torque in full visual effect. Good job going for it on the workout. Serious!
what did your power tap read on that one... note, if you are generating more power then niagara falls, you might need to take a couple days off..
On the flip side.. this makes for a good pick up line for the ladies... hehe
