Ha Ha Ha. Good one Les. As someone who has been a tour leader for the MS tour, and has friends in high places (just ask questions to mechanics). You find that not a lot of breakeage occurs away from the normal spokes and flat tires (some times ripped tires). The worst I have witnessed was a tire we booted with a Canadian dollar bill (we did not have any Yankee money to get full value :-) ). Last year there was an 11 year old girl on bike older than her and weighed more than my sag van, rode into Kingston on one gear as shifter cable broke.
