Mornin, What were the reasons for the failure, metal fatigue, accident or them pesky gremlins???, does it say ?

its because theyre cheap, i know somebody who buys in cheap new alloys from turkey(no copyright law), and they are poorly made, most of them need so many weights to balance them

Little bit of super glue and they'll be fine....

Seriously though - that's very bad. Doesn't look like they were on the car when they came appart though; that's probably just the damage caused by the Post Man

It didn't say why it failed, maybe the 10kg of lead weights trying to balance it made it fail, you guys always pick on the Posties lol,
