An approved mechanical counts. There was a guy two years ago at Bethel who tore up his FD shifting, why I don't know. He came into the pit, showed Mike, who let him bend it back and shift it into the big ring. I've also seen guys breK spokes so the wheel is a potato chip. They swapped wheels and went on their way.
