McClure, Ohio, Sunday Aug 23. It was a bright, warm Sunday morning as a group of Breakfast Club riders headed off toward Napoleon, having stuffed themselves with pancakes at C&J's Family Affair in Grand Rapids, OH. Dave Komives, riding in the rear, heard the sounds of Gerry Davis's Spinergy front wheel collapsing. Gerry was last in line. Dave turned his head in time to see Gerry slam into the pavement, HARD, as the f---ing wheel collapsed.

A McClure fire truck and an EMS vehicle and two sheriff’s cars all gathered at the scene to rescue Gerry. He has, besides the usual concussion and rash, a bunged up shoulder and, apparently, broken bones in both hands.

Gerry says the wheel has had nothing but ordinary wear, no crashes, no hard use - and he was riding straight forward and steady and smooth at the time of the collapse.

Get some Rolf wheels, Gerry.
