Everybody have heard one.

-I was just riding along and suddenly the wheel tacoed on me, I want a new one on warranty:o

Stories often heard in bikeshops and insurance offices.

I was Just Riding Along (http://www.bikecolorado.com/bc/resultsfastFacts.cfm/table/fastFacts/ffid/120/letter/L/title/resultsfastFacts.cfm?alid=120&letter=J&table=FastFacts) on Murphy's Hogback out on the White Rim Canyon Trail near Moab and the ratcheting mechanism in my rear hub exploded through the hub...I had 50 miles left to go on the trail and NO BIKE!! I had to ride the rest of the trail IN A JEEP. Please replace this thing YESTERDAY.

True story - happened to a guy in our Moab crew...
