I went for what should have been a good hour and a half ride with my buddy today. We agreed to begin by hitting some new trails we found and then looping back to our regular ride. 8 minutes into the ride, we hit a fairly steep climb with loose sand. He made it right up on his Stumpjumper FSR. I was on my 16 year old Cannondale hardtail, switched into my granny ring and about halfway up, my right foot slipped out of the SPD and I stopped. I looked down and my right crank and chainring were laying on the ground. I snapped off my bottom bracket axle. Read about it, heard about it, but never seen it.
I'm still about three months away from purchasing a new bike, so I'll be fixing this one. Old girl owes me nothing.
