First set of campy hubs ive seen crack like that... apparently not uncommon(?) - I can't wait till my phil's break... or suntours, campys, gipiemmes, velocitys, mallards, hardens, zues'...
Has anyone ever snapped a (quality) quill stem?

I asked RedMenace Thursday night if those hubs were Campy Sheriff stars, since I had heard those were prone to exploding. Weird...

you did! and i replied with some ridiculous response like "no, they have one too many points..."
boy did i think i was clever at the time! funny thing about that, i can't say for sure but i think i splintered it right after the start of the race on the first lap. MrWhite launched an attack and i responded to it... i remember hearing (and feeling) a loud pop, but all i was thinking about was getting his wheel. i didn't think about it again until the next day at work when i noticed the hub had exploded and the rim was wonky. i blame you... :)

that is because you are super-human...you command the metal.
no not really being son of Campy helps but it was part of the Jedi mind trick.

Ill ride 50x15 this thursday to even things up. 50x14 is a mongrel to push up the final 'climb'.
Or maybe ill drop down to 50x13.... ;)

yeah this time i won't be surprised to see you attacking! but if i destroy anything else on my bike as a result of trying to chase you down, i'm going to demand some retribution... :D

it's everyone's fault but mine, okay?!
I'm only going to ride my Campy sherrif stars on the track as per Campagnolo's request. The new DA high flange built to non-machined deep Vs will be for street riding whenever they ship in December.

Only poor ones. I'll take some this week coming. Maybe a group shot... or busted parts.
