Broken spoke race. A front spoke went in my 16H DV46. Raced the rest of the race on a 15 spoke DV46. At 1:14 the background music fades and POP...
Still did 40? minutes of descents, tucked to move up, and contested the sprint.
Relaced the wheel with all new spokes. Raced it until the end of last year. The wheel is under one of my teammates now. I bought spokes for the rear but a spoke has yet to go.
Blur on screen is cracked protective lens from the 2006 Nutmeg State Games (hadn't realized it was cracked until I transferred both tapes to computer). Not wide angle lens so you can't see much. And this is my pre-HD setup.
I broke a spoke in the rear of my DV46s. Relaced the whole wheel. Have the spokes for the front but none ever popped. Another teammate has those wheels.
