Come off my bike already

Hey.
A few days ago i post in the Introduce yourself Section saying hello.
Had my bike for 4 weeks now.

I was going out for a little ride and i felt a sharp jump (As if i has gone over a log on my back tyre)
A bolt had snapped the connects the back tyre to the main frame.
This caused my tyre to go all weird and ended up clipin the hedge with my handle bar. I had time to break so as the bike cliped the hedge and fell over i was able to just jump off and continue in a slow run.

Luckly there was a Nice biker comming and helped me get my bike up to a local hotel and then he gave me a lift home.
Just really wanted to say thanks if you use Southwestbikers.com

Thanks for helping...
Carl

jeesy chreesy, The bolt snapped? Take it back to where you bought it and tell them what happened, if your were damaged I'm sure they'd be liable.

Like, the spindle!?

Well, it's the same with all things really, unless it has a guarentee nothing will happen.

But f*ck me, of all the things to happen!
Hope you're okay mate.

Sounds like you were lucky...Could have been a far worse outcome...
