Well,

My birfs were making alot of noise so I asked the wife to get some new longs for me for X-mas... ( I've got a little over a year on the existing longs )

I was snow wheeling this weekend, backing up with the wheels totally cranked to the left and " POP " I knew exactly what it was.

Oh, and changing birfs suck, but they suck even worse when your changing them in the snow, while it's raining...

I changed the birf out with a stock one, went about 300 yards and " POP " the other long went.. I said FAWK it, I'm going home..

Anyway, not training to create anymore dram here, my 1st gen longs lasted over a years which is just fine with me, the the new one will last that long, I'll be happy.. Just wanted to share some carnage...
