Buy a couple drailleur hangers too. I bent one without even crashing.

It was at the start of my favorite trail.
My riding bud just got his new 2002 Disco Monkey so he was all excited taking his bike on the maiden voyage. We weren't riding 5 minutes when I hear this bang. [smiley=coolfrown.gif] My spoke broke. I looked closer and saw this stick with my derailleur wrapped around it. I unwrapped the derailleur and thought everything was ok. As soon as it started misshifting, I knew the hanger was bent. Since it was the start of the ride, I would have turned around, except that my buddy just got his new bike. I stuck my bike in the granny gear and did the whole ride that way. My buddy was smiling, while I was cursing. [smiley=furious.gif] Now I'm paranoid of any twig lying on the trail

"I would have turned around, except that my buddy just got his new bike"
Hey, your buddys got a good riding partner! Your stick reminds me of a gal riding by Sardine Point near Truckee CA. She was zipping along and an odd stick was flipped by her front tire directly into the spokes and brought up hard against the back of the fork-nasty crash and freak accident. I think about this when I'm considering the short ride solo into the backwoods.

Similar experience here. I was riding down a particularly rocky section of a non-bike trail, when out of the blue, I went over the bars. Didn't see it coming at all. Turns out there was a rock wedged between my rim and my fork! And not just any rock - this sucker was a full 8 inches across (kind of a flat disc)! Fortunately, it didn't hurt the bike (except for a small scratch) and I was going slow enough that I wasn't hurt. I'm still wondering how a rock that big made it all the way to the top of my wheel!
This was several years ago, so you might say that I was the first person on this board to use an 8" front disc brake! (Stopping power was incredible. Modulation sucked...)
