What did you do to your bike today? (v2)

--- Quote from: Pat;3601244 ---Did this to my rim sometime in the last time I rode. There goes my rear roll cage. Any idea if this would be a warranty-able? Shot in the dark, I am not asking Gsport to give me a new rim. Just wondering

Pretty certain that wouldn't be anything covered under the normal warranty. From the picture it appears that there was some sort of impact that caused the hole. You can email warranty (at) odysseybmx.com and he can give you the final answer. Might be worth sending his way just to see what he has to say.
Did you hit it on an upright on a rail or something? That is a crazy looking hole.
I laced up a wheel once and cased the shit out of it first run at the skatepark. Completely ruined the rim... I feel your pain.

I've seen a dude do this to a Hazard Lite rim by clipping the corner of a ledge real hard. He rode it for nearly two years after that just fine.

rode some concrete waves

the only thing I could think of as to how it happened was, the other night I was trying a thread the needle Ice Pick between a ledge and a barrier and got sent. I thought my peg had caught the end of the ledge, I guess not.
Yeah its a bummer. I might have to lace up my old 7ka as that is the only rim that has held up in the rear for an extended period of time for me.
BTW Pegs, wondering in a general forum without directly contacting the company only offers the opportunity for speculation. Having Odsy and G-sport employees here only offers the benefit of speculation from the horse's mouth, as I would have to contact the warranty department directly for a final verdict (as Skateparkrider was nice enough to point out). I am fully aware of where fault lies when it comes to bike parts, I am no dumb 14 year old child. It was merely an attempt at a topic of conversation. Similar to how you would engage your friend after breaking something. i.e. "Dude I wonder if they would warranty that"
