sorry it broke.

but that's my dad.

lay off

[livelifexplore]

apology accepted although i doubt u had anything to do with building them so not really necessary. thanks anyway :)

why don't u show this video to your dad and ask him to send me two new rims for free. this was a MAJOR set back on our trip and because of it, i'll NEVER buy bontrager or a bike with bontrager anything.

maybe it's a one-off thing but i can't take those chances on upcoming big trips.

OR

maybe your dad would like to sponsor me when i bike across canada? what do you say?

Uhhh, what specific Bontrager rims were you using???

[livelifexplore]

i can't remember but they were stock when i bought my mountain bike which is a gary fisher tasahara (worth quite a bit).

[livelifexplore]

Those look like Bontrager Camino. I broke one yesterday! :D They're really awful.

You have a worn out brake track on the rim. It happes on all rims. What was your mialege? Do a review on hocky or beer, something you might know about. Favel...

Never happened to me on any of their road/cross/mtb wheels which have been bomb proof for me. Those rim walls look pretty worn out and pretty thin.

What rims were you using?  How much did you pay for them?
