You need a square taper BB, my son! If that bugger goes you won’t be around to complain.

To be fair I have put a lot of miles on this and my maintenance could definitely be improved!

Unfortunately one legged pedalling wasn’t an option as the drive side started to slide out a little.

You are the first cyclist I’ve seen “chuck a rod” like that. That does look like you got you money out of it however.

You are hereby awarded the Corvette Chucked Rod Award, for chucking above and beyond the call of doo-doo.

this was found, embedded in the parking lot, under a friend’s 350 Corvette.

it wiped the oil pump out of existence on the way out.
