Thomo Posted June 24, 2016 Share "Little fall" is relative.I also had a little fall and wrote off a Tarmac SL4 (which also cracked/snapped etc)... not too mention writing myself off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALLMTB Posted June 24, 2016 Share Looks like the area where a grip lock ring, brake or shifter could possible have been tightened too much damaging and weakening the bar... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
