Who's ridden the longest with the fewest mechanical calamities?
I will start:
Since 1987 with two bikes although for the last 10 years, next to no milage - shall we say 23 years in total.
2 broken axles, 1 snapped seatpin bolt, 1 flat tyre.
So 0.174 incidents per year.
Thing is, if I hadn't started on a 6 speed bike with freewheel-fit hubs that incident rate would be half.
