It's been really frustrating for me since i bought the extremes.  I ran faster with china made Vpaddles because i had no problem launching in 2nd.  Been really messing with gearing trying to get back to that with those extremes.

Wow!  I had that happened to me twice at glamis, except it was my rear wheel.  Happened one time about 5 minutes after racing up Olds.

That could of been reeeeeaaalll bad!

What gearing were you running?

Lucky! I had the right front nearly fly off of mine 2 Saturday's ago. Barely felt the wobble in the bars and jammed the breaks to stop. Losing wheels on a ride is scarey as hell.

First time ever to this place. Thought water was getting deep so that's how I git wet. Than thumb throttle came loose inside the housing. Had to get some peeps that parked next to me to get me some tools. Than I notice after one pass my footpeg is loose. Than the unthinkable happens. Good thing its towards the end if the run and I'm about stopped. Or close to it anyway.
