Last month, I did a bike trip on Ouessant Island in Brittany. It was all fun and small trail until I broke my chain in a steep hill climb. Not a problem per se, I alway carry a chain tool with me. I did sprain my ankle a little and scratch my knee but, the really bad thing is that the frame cracked at the base of the seat post (which wasn't at it's max height). I didn't saw anything until last week.
Now start the hard part, find a replacement for my fatty… I don't have much choose on the market in France. 99% of the products are chineses e-fatbike with 4" tires.
I have a Burley Coho XC trailer that I use every weeks so carbon frames are nearly off limit. Less and less choices…
