Was riding and the bottom quick drive bolt snapped on me - the bottom gear came right off the spline.
Very dangerous / scary as I was on a steep climb and lost all throttle and brake.
Full disclosure - I had replaced the stock gears with the pro ride gears and a new QD belt about 500km earlier. Even replaced the bottom bolt with one that was supposed to be stronger 10.9 hardness.
Anyways, in a fluster to get it back together and ride out (could not get the bottom bolt to engage the threads so I had to keep stopping to hammer the bottom gear back onto the spline as it was walking itself off) I just realized that I put the QD belt on backwards. Probably rode out about 30km like this.
Question is did I damage the belt or anything? Can I just flip it back to proper direction and keep using it? Or do I need a new belt?
Thanks!
