Parts Morgue
Interesting web page that discusses bicycle parts failures and features some nice close-ups. The whole thing reads like a forensic scientist's report, especially if you substitute "trauma" everywhere for "failure." Kinda eerie.Note that one example of a crank failure comes to us courtesy of Campagnolo; apparently, the crack began at the logo stamp mark, brilliantly placed at the point of greatest tensile bending moment! Must've laid off an engineer to keep a marketer, haw!

Very cool site. Thanks for the link. I think DT has a 1" stem he can send them to add to their collection.
