What's the best maintenance stuffup people have done? It was
a question I had lots of time to ponder in casualty
yesterday. I went for a test ride yesterday after fitting a
new headstem. Obviously (well it is now anyway) I hadn't
tightened the bolt that runs down into the tube enough,
because about 2km into the ride the hdlebars were going in
one diection and the front wheel in another, with me
thinking "uh oh this is gonna hurt". End result was broken
left thumb with arm in plaster, and 2 fractures in the right
arm at the elbow (in a sling for now, decision on plaster on
Thurs). So give me your tales of stuuffed up home maint, I
need a good laugh.
