Two from me.
Standing start for a race at the local velodrome.
Whistle blows.
I stand on pedals ... and strip the threads on the hub. Full drive to instant neutral. Talk about powerful thighs.
Mind you, the hub was a Quando (made of semi-matured cheese) and a previous abuser had buggered up the thread good and proper.
It's not everyone who can claim to have stripped the threads off a track hub though
The second one.
Climbing Expressway Hill on the Europa ... and had the rear wheel slipping under the torque I was putting through the rear wheel.
I just won't mention the layer of sand where a drain had overflowed recently, hence the loss of traction
So, what's your story?
Richard
