ouch.

 

Yea, I hit a curb goin like 5 and bent my stock rim. So he is surprised? Not many spoked wheels could withstand that force considering it initially hit on the spokes.

 

what not normal here?? :thinking:

 

Well it must be Rota's fault because of all that stuff floating around the internet about Rotas breaking for no reason.

 

When you choose a lightweight wheel you give up structural rigidity most of the time. Any wheel would have been bent beyond repair in the same accident, sucks everything else got bent/broken too though.

 

:werd:

 

lol I've hit a curb at ~40mph and barely bent a rota and didn't bent the control arms at all. I did bent a control arm and destroy a stock wheel with a 15mph hit though (a big arse pothole). The angle of impact seems to have a huge effect on how much damage there is in my experience (which makes sense).

 

true...there are no details as to the angle of impact.

 

Hmm... interesting.
