That's pretty impressive. Lots of bad luck? Or just crappy quality control?
I'm a fairly average size, but I do a lot of pretty serious gravel biking, as well as riding in all conditions thanks to using the same bike for almost all of my transportation. And honestly, running down the list of changes I've made to this bike since I got it in 2020, most of the stock parts that came with it have failed and had to be replaced, to the point that I'm on first-name terms with everyone at my shop and they've started comping me labor when I go in for replacement parts.
