I have a collection of shorts with exactly that point of failure.
Brake track worn thru?
Nope! The dude is like 6’6 though. Slapped a new rim on and will see how this one fares…
it looks like a white pube
I have a tiny GT frame that might be a good replacement if they are tall enough for 26" wheels

“Most of you, that’s awesome! Now how many of you know what pubes are?”
“How many of you have a house?
All right, now how many of you drove your house to school today?
Well, I did. No, I’m not Superman; I just live in my 1997 chevy lumina”
another cracked m730 crank. At least 75% of these that i get or see at the co op or whatever are cracked these days.
Surprising, though I think @Emor_please has killed a few but not sure if it was that kind of crack or not.
they’re pretty old now, so not surprising they’re dying. several of mine are dated 1993 which is nuts!
I think I cracked one at the spider like this – though that may have been a sugino – and another one came with a damaged taper interface and never quite worked right. that was the one you sent me, jimmy. NDS arm, natch.
how
I would probably slather some epoxy on there and yolo, but I’m a dirtbag who does doesn’t know how anything works and also doesn’t value his own life very highly.
that means a lot to me and informs me to replace it
I’d ride it till I could see light through it
I saw a vid recently where a dude biked most of the whole enchilada in Moab with a cracked carbon rim.
