Well I've done 45,000km in 2 1/2 years.
Pretty much 50/50 road/dirt, possibly a bit more on the dirt side.
Now my off road ability was fairly non-existent as this was my first off road bike ever so l may have hit a few VERY big holes, rocks, stumps, logs, fury animals and had several high speed excursions off roads, through rock gardens, over earth mound barricades, up embankments basically you name it I've done it out of control and some how always ridden home unscathed.
So if I wasn't absorbing the damage with my body and riding gear, what was?

This was my front wheel the other month (and still is).



Been off the road all summer waiting for OTR to send me an excel rim.
It's not a fault of the soft cheesy oem wheel, I did thrash it all the way to the end.
It had more buckles in it than a belt factory.
No l haven't ridden it since and yes l let the air out just in case.
Just thought l'd share.

ps. Capt l will re-subscribe soon. Scraping the bottom of the barrel atm.
