Tort law help!

I'm doing an essay on the breach of duty of care and I need help applying the factors. Please help, only if you know what your talking about. Seema was an amatuer mountain bike racer who was preparing for the student champoinships in Autralia. She bought some expensive new wheels from Spokes Ltd that had been made to their new design. Whilst she was training abroad, a desingh fault in her new front wheel caused the tyre to burst and she crashed breaking several bones. She can no longer ride competitively. Consider whether a duty of care has been breached in this case. Please go by the following factors: Are there any special charactertistics of the defendent? Are there any special characteristics of the claimant? What is the size of the risk? Have all practical precautions been taken? What are the benefits of taking the risk? If you know what you are talking about then you'll know what the above factors are. Many thanks if you do help! :]
