I clipped a stump at Yadkinville GNCC with left front wheel at what I would guess was between 20-30mph. Broke my wrist but the spindle/knuckle didnt break. What I noticed was the frame is slightly off now first noticed it by looking at how the lower a-arms sat differently on level ground. Also the hiper wheel seems good other than I had to replace the o-ring in it after this. The wheel started to leak around/by one of the lug nuts.

This would be my second frame. The first one same deal and I would swear I barely bumped a tree more like grazed it.

Is it possible that it is more from over tightening the tie rod ends over time?

hmm i would be shocked if the frame bent before something else like a tie rod or knuckle gave out

I broke mine clipping a tree at a Mid East Race Rd1 in Bishopville, SC on lap 2. But In the knuckles defense I hit pretty hard at a good rate of speed. Better that to break then something hard to fix or something real expensive. Just my .02
