The metal sleeve was removed (weight weenie thing) and so the end near the head was not as supported. During one of the last few strokes (high pressure), the plastic cracked/broke (where the sleeve was missing) and broken plastic shards cut the hand that was bracing the pump and stem. Not a serious injury, but certainly could have been. -------------------- Skuke 95 Carbonframes Tetra Pro 92 Bridgestone MB-1 90 Moser 51.151 Post Extras
