DESTRUCTION!

Polo can really take a toll on your gear. I finally got around to replacing the brake pads on my polo bike after they were nearly worn down to the metal. Soon I'll have to replace my shoes too...

Polo Killed My Brake Pads

Polo Killed My Shoes

Not polo related, but a customer came into the shop with "drivetrain issues". This is what his Suntour Derailleur looked like:

Suntour Derailleur with No Teeth

No teeth on the jockey wheel at all. A well-used bike indeed!

Some old skool der did not have teeth, thus they never wore out. I think some of the Simplex ones were built that way.
