Guess who forgot the wheel/cafe lock was still on on the GSD when setting off from Screwfix yesterday in the rain, with an annoyed toddler on the back, shearing the valve stem clean off? Had a clear run in front of me, so attempted a dismount from kickstand/set off in one movement job. Otherwise if it was just getting it off the stand, I would have felt the resistance. But, "crack" "PSSSSH" "fuck".
That was a miserable walk home.
Positives; it was the front and not the back wheel, I didn't break any spokes, the screwfix was only a mile from home, I had packed the Hamax poncho so mini_com was actually fairly chipper and totally dry on the walk.
