Bottle holder broken during downhill
Has anyone seen something like this ?
Yesterday evening, I was riding downhill at about 50 km/h on a bumpy road, with a stiff road bike with skinny tires (all these details to tell you that it _was_ bumpy). Suddenly, I heard a big noise and looking down I saw that my bottle holder was gone, together with a nearly full aluminum bottle. The guy who was following 50 cm behind me on a mountain bike (which I found foolish in the first place on such a road) probably had the fear of his lifetime but did not crash. I don't even know whether he was hit or not. But it happened so fast that if he was not then it was just pure luck. The bottle holder broke at the weld between the cage tubing and the plate which is screwed to the frame. I wouldn't like this to happen with me in the pack at the Sunday morning club ride. Turtle |
