Nice Crash Helmet Cam

Joseph Jozwik said:

Hey Everyone.. I had a nice crash yesterday and just so
happened I got it on the helmet cam.

Thanks for posting, nice clip. Too bad you didn't have a
spoke wrench with you😉 At least you have proof of JRA.

Was that wicked noise you or the sound of the wheel failing?

How are you after that? I think you need to work on your
expletives a little more, it was a bit indistinct :-) Martin

What made you crash?

Nice video by the way, sorry about your luck!

I'm struggling hard to find out what the hell you
hit?!? JRA?

I am not really sure.. I just hit a little jump and got some
air.. I think the rim failed cause it broke right at the
seam.. I only way about 150 160.. With camera and stuff. Joe

Yeah, for sure the rim failed... there is no way with your
weight, you hit anything hard enough there to break it, from
what I can see. Looks like you caught just a small air off a
tree root and the rim just folded when you came down. I
would send the video to Mavic and see if they offer you a
new wheel.

Who says learning to wheelie is a useless skill?

I will try to get ahold of them Thanks Joe

They liked the video but said that it just tacoed and buy a
new wheel.

Probably some roadie or non-cyclist.

Well, if it were me I would tell 'em it sure as hell wont be
a Mavic next time. 🙂

And that I'll put in on my web site along with emails from
Mavic saying that's normal for their wheels... They were
emails, no?

Then send it to Ritchie or somebody and see if *they'll*
give you a free rim.... :-)

We have more power than most of us realize, especially
within a group as large as this....

If Joseph wanted to push it, he could probably make Mavic
squirm a bit. I will be building up some wheels soon, and
Mavic will not be on the list of rims to buy, if their
customer(NO)service is like he says.

While I don't often agree with Ralph Nader these days, there
is one statement he made long ago that stays with me:

"A customer's most powerful weapon is the 180 degree turn."

Perhaps a clipping of this exchange might change
Mavic's mind....

I'd say that was a warranty issue.

BULLLLL.....SHIIIIIIT!!!! if that isn't JRA, I don't know
what is. Especially with front suspension, that wheel (if
properly built) should never have taco'ed and especially not
have broken at the weld.

If that is the way they stand behind their product I will
NEVER buy a Mavic rim and encourage everybody I know to
do the same.
