We'll have to see what happens. If he is, maybe it will serve as a warning to other wanna be vigilantes/lesson teachers out there. I agree, the guy should be punished severely.

The link above gives the particulars if you had not read them. The road rage incident on Mandeville Canyon Rd. was the act of a madman not just a "normal" person acting out. He deserves to go away for what he did And no I am no god on a bike ( more like no good ) See you on the road http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/06/03/driver-hits-pack-of-bicyc_n_104852.html?view=screen

Actually 2 road (Monday 5:30 and Saturday 7:30am) and 2 mountain rides (Wed. 5:30pm and often Saturday at 7:30). There are a lot of cool people of all different abilities, so it's pretty fun.

His deraileur hit one of the spokes on the R-sys wheel. When it exploded, with the weight differential, the entire wheel collapsed. I was sent face first into the concrete. Cracked my zygomatic arch and was left with a grade III concussion even with a helmet. I took the wheel back to a Mavic dealer and was given a pair of premiums to compensate. Yeah, too bad they didn't reimburse me for the medical bills and the ambulance ride to the hospital. I was riding last season in a group ride, the guy next to me swerved into my front wheel.

The only issue that I have with it is a cable rattle that I cannot find. It is only audible when the road is bumpy, which is often around here, and try as I may I cannot find it. Otherwise it is a great bike. That Verde looks very nice as well, with the only real difference being the integrated mast and paint scheme. I don't see how you could go wrong. I love it.

How do you like it after owning it for a while? I'm considering a Verde. Thanks! Beautiful! How do you like it after owning it for a while? I’m considering a Verde. Thanks!

If it were one isolated incident, that's one thing. The fact that there are many is something else entirely. Glad to hear you're relatively okay.

The single burst and the aluminium rim broke into 4 pieces yet all 32 spokes were in 1 piece and all 32 were still attached at both the hub and rim. The tyre was also still glued to 3 of the 4 sections of rim. Back to R-Sys... how hitting a bump mid-corner and shattering every single spoke can be deemed acceptable is a complete mystery.
