  1. I was riding my nearly new (less than 60 days old) Canaan Elite and it
    exploded on me

    I could have been KILLED!

    I was riding down a steep hill and just at the bottom when all my weight
    was forced onto the bicycle and it exploded. I obviously crashed and
    was incredibly lucky not to be seriously injured. My helmet was also
    destroyed saving my head from a similar fate.

    I know that there is a warranty that could replace bike, but at this
    point I'm scared that it could happen again with the new bike and I
    could break my neck and DIE!

    Do you bike experts think this is fluke or do you think it could happen
    again?
