I had a fork crown bolt shear or loosen enough to allow my berthoud front rack (with loaded Wald basket) fall forward and lock the front wheel... I stopped instantly and went over the handlebars. It collapsed the fork and I ended up breaking a small elbow bone which healed quickly.
I got the frame checked out and aligned by Chris Bishop in Baltimore, then got a new fork ordered from Riv (before they started selling all the forks cheaply) and now I'm just waiting to get it back from the powder coaters so I can reassemble. I was pretty lucky, no other bikes or pedestrians were involved and I was on a bike path not a busy street. Keep an eye on your rack hardware! :) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
