I was doing a steady Candace and no shifting ..........then KA-----BAM ! I'am real finicky about my bike maintance and how clean they are , I try to look 'um over after each ride , it would just bug me to much to piece it back together, its toast , put a fork in it , lol
If you had been concentrating on riding and not on doing Candace, this probably wouldn't have happened!

In the photo of the bike from a few weeks ago, the bike is cross chained from the large chainring to the large cog. There is a lot of tension on the rear derailleur if the chain is short. If you rode the bike in this configuration and the chain is short, failure could have happened with either derailleur.

part it out/keep bits for rainy day and make the frame wall art.
not sure how you completely snapped the lower pulley on the derailleur clean off.

If you look closely enough, you can see the crack on the seat tube right at the FD tab in the pic you shot a week before the accident. Just saying.
Just kidding - duh. Happy shopping! You sticking with Scott or looking elsewhere?

elsewhere postman dropped this off to me a few weeks ago , I"am using everything off the Scott , except the derailleurs ofcourse I have also went with some newer 105 Shifters with the hidden cables (model 5700), I had owned a Cannondale System Six a few years ago and regretted selling it , so I bought this Six13 f/f to build up.
