Three times so far
First time was riding down a logging road and there was a wide spot with some stumps. Well, I decided to see how much air I could get on a stump
but my rear rotor landed on another stump (I barely got my tire moved far enough over to keep it from landing on it). Totally flattened over 90°. I just shrugged it off and figured it was because I did something dumb
Second time was pretty embarrassing...rode my bike over to my grandpa's to water some plants in his greenhouse while he was gone. So I rode down this 10 foot long gravel path with some rocks on the left side, and somehow slightly bumped about an 8 inch rock with my pedal. Just enough to roll into my rear rotor and bend it so I couldn't bend it back.
Third time, was riding an easy single track and very slightly bumped a rock. I was able to straighten it with a channel lock with wood taped to the jaws. Gonna have to be more carful now:skep:
And that was with 160mm avids...
Do you more experienced people ever bend them?
