It looks more like it just snapped, you wouldn't be able to shift into any higher gear and still have it rubbing against the chain. Hell, the only way I can see you sawing through would be if you had such a poorly adjusted derailleur that it was rubbing in the smallest gear, and that wouldn't break it that high up.

14 INCH DICK TURBO posted:Well, how did it snap then? That's not exactly a high stress area. I was justifying it as either riding on the larger gear or chain flex. Other than that I've got absolutely nothing. Side impact from clipping a rock/stick? But that'd require some pretty unlucky trajectories to get past the pedals. Micros theory would work as long as they never changed down a gear. (Which in a fairly level area isn't an unreasonable assumption.)

General_Failure posted:Sorry. All I could think of was Melbourne with that turn right from the left lane on red bullshit. Does that still exist? Hook turns work pretty well assuming people aren't complete loving retards. Given the quality of the average Melbourne driver though I'm surprised they've lasted this long.

Boat posted:OK, I'm going to need a diagram or something, because from here this is just 10 kinds of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hook_turn Basically cars wanting to turn right will instead queue in the left lane and wait until the phase changes, then they can pull out to the right ahead of the cross traffic. This video shows how it is meant to work: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VC110TeusA The problem comes when people go too early and pull out ahead of through traffic, or cross traffic pulls out too early and sideswipes the turning traffic.
