Had sticks go into shimano derailleurs and only ever broke the hanger on the bike.

A nice, eclectic mix for a Land Rover/Nissan Patrol household.
Awesome, had no idea there where other mountain bikers that drive Land Rovers, and even based so close to me in the Hunter.

Seriously, lets go riding. Soon.
