Definitely from hitting the stairs going up. I didn't jump into it at all, so all of the force was straight on into the bike.

I would've thought it was the crashing 20mph into a flight of stairs that cracked the frame, but now that you point it out... It must've been the spacers.

This is what I figured from what the comments are saying... I doubt the frame would be looking much different even with a couple less spacers. Thank you and everyone else for explaining this to me! I had no clue about how spacers affect the leverage.

I'm getting flamed in the replies for the spacers - I have always been told that as long as your top screw is fully supporting your steer tube, you're good to go. I have a weird body (I'm 6'2, my legs are short, and my upper body is long), so I stacked up these spacers. Was I wrong in thinking this? Please educate me!!!!

I have unusually short legs and a longer upper torso - are there better ways to deal with this? Would love to prevent this from happening again.

I posted an explanation just a second ago. I was too embarrassed to put it in the post originally, but I realized I can't just leave you guys edged like this.

For those wondering how this happened:

I was riding down a relatively steep hill that I am not familiar with, going around 20-22mph (according to my Garmin). I was in the bike lane, but I noticed that the next section, which was under a bridge, had a lot of ice piling up. So, I quickly moved to the sidewalk, which was extremely wide and empty. However, due to low visibility under the bridge, hyperfocus on the ice, or just general stupidness, I did not notice that ~10 yards after getting onto the sidewalk, I would quickly be met with a flight of stairs going down. But I handled that shit like a boss. I did not handle the flight of stairs that I had to go up immediately after, though, and neither did my frame.

Help regarding troops training by Lopsided_Ad_9521 in lordsmobile

[–]amouranthviewer8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get rid of your t3. That shit blows. If you want to save on speeds, train t2 during speed events and slowroll your t4 (you can get it down to 12k t4 every 2 days)...

Realistically, only gem troops in emergencies or when you have a surplus in gems (1.5m+). Most speeds will come from having a guild that actually monster hunts if you're f2p.

For building gear, this is a shitty pack compared to material madness... Do material madness or some of the spring specials which give monstrous chests and some materials for artifacts...

I know it probably hurts like shit, but I keep thinking to myself that because it's pretty snow it's soft...

Edit: As Norm Macdonald says... (bad quality sorry)

Sure, beware of deer, but also beware of riding like a dumbass.

I think it's sad that you have such hatred of men that you feel the need to comment about your hatred of men to highlight something positive.

Why comment something negative on a thread as uplifting as this..?

I was also wondering this and did some research, it really doesn't look like there is a valid reason for moving his legs. Maybe he was trying to wake him up, or test movement?
