Some JB weld and safety wire and she'll be fine.

Forgot the blue stand, case saver, shifter tip, blue end grips, levers and axle blocks.

Whole lot of blue.

Check spokes and sprocket bolts and generally everything I can get to before I go out every time.

Glad you were not hurt.

Dang man.... glad you're ok!! That could have been bad. Now that we all know you're ok, I can't wait to see what peely says

Blue Grip tips too, can't forget that.

I will admit, I'm guilty of having some matching bling. But I'm old and my mom always taught me how to match my colors - laundry

How tight was that chain?

You said you tightened the bolts but the sprocket looks like it was running loose before letting go.
See the round out on the Hub?

Real talk.. tusk hubs are shittttt
I blew a brand new one out, whole inside turned to mush

they did replace it, but I was happy to not use them again

Yep, but you will have riders say, at least they are inexpensive. Get what ya pay for.

From the looks of the stretched holes in the hub (all in the same direction) it almost looks as if the chain was too tight. I had my chain tight years ago and it snapped every link in the chain at the pin holes. If it was tight, then I'll say that is a bad ass case you have there on that engine.

That's interesting...I run a Tusk rear hub on my GNCC bike. Its been on the bike for 3 seasons without a problem.

The chain was a little on the loose side but I've seen people ride with them much worse then mine was. I was adjusting the chain after almost every ride this year and that had me curious. I didn't think I should have to adjust one that often. I can't remember what chain it was I'm thinking a oem type replacement DID.
But honestly what do you guys think caused this? I couldn't find any of the bolts anywhere. I was curious if the nut backed off any of them or something like that. I'm but sure what brand wheel to get next along with what sprocket to get. I guess I'll be checking every nut & bolt religiously from now on

October will make it 3 years for these hubs and this is my first issue. I honestly think tusk makes good products but some will argue and say there junk because there cheap

That's kinda what I thought but I know it was on the loose side last night. Maybe I've been running my tension too tight before?

True, but peace of mind is worth extra $500 to me. And easier resale on top end wheelsets.
