I think it means nothing that the Pivot prototype broke. If a production bike breaks, that's a completely different thing.
@RaptorV1USA7 ай бұрын
Exactly. It meant a bit to Bernard obvs. (OUCH!) but not indicative of the brand or their production bikes...it was a prototype being tested IRL. Shit happens sometimes. Anyone who says anything else is being dumb.

@obi-wankenobi98717 ай бұрын
My riding group consisting of 10 amateur riders breaks ~1 production frame per season. You never see factory riders break frames, because their mechanics inspect the bikes daily and replace them at the first sign of a crack.

Fair play on the monologue about the Pivot failure , but we wouldn't be making that case if Bernard was seriously injured. I'm all for bike companies taking technical risks and prototyping, but not at the cost of safety. Any frame failure, whether on a pro, or an average joe is just as bad as a helmet failure in my eyes.
