If your kids don't have kids who don't have kids, you won't understand.

How did you manage to do that?

Performance bro.

The brake just failed, I wasn't even using it. The little piece that holds the return spring gave out, so the spring skewered the tire.

Just bad luck.

Well, at least most of the damaged stuff is on the lower cost end of the rainbow.

And.........you weren't hurt.

Yeah, bad luck pretty much.
The tires were already close to dead, and I already have new tires, so heres my excuse to throw them on. No frame or wheel damage.

The brakes should still be under warranty, so I should get a new caliper.

I still want pics

Me too. I can't visualize how the spring could have damaged the tire, since it should have moved away from it when it got unsprung. :wtf:

Switching to a 10 hour shift at work has proven to be slightly more draining than I thought it would be.

Stomach flu. **** me.

those planet x brakes are not that great. they are light and look good tho.

They look like single pivot to me. Who even does that anymore ?

Campy for their rear brakes?

SRAM red brakes are single pivot.

i like the previous generation Force/Red brakes. they're great (and dual pivot).

yeah, but so heavy... i dont know how you ride those things, being so heavy

Today I dare you all to post in here just to freak everyone out.

the heaviest

Such heavy brakes

best breaks: 7800

best part about em? they work really good.
i know it seems simple (cause it is), but that point seems to be lost on many aftermarket mfg's

TBH i do have some of those fancy TRP magnesium brakes on one of my bieks but thats because it was a team loaner bike from 2 yrs ago that i bought for dirt cheap

The easier to do rad skids with.

Agreed. I have hoarded 3 2/3 sets of these all to myself.

While we're still talking about dem breaks, I would just like to point out that 2013 red calipers are butt ugly but light and really really easy to center.

yesterday i saw blink 182 for like the 5th time

theyre ****ing awesome.

I saw some guy riding on thesmallest bars I've ever seen, he maybe had one inch on each side of the stem. I wanted to get a picture but was just stunned someone would actually ride a bike like that.

Was it these?
