I had a shitty bike, it doesn't matter what, for years as a kid, and it never failed on me. Then one day a friend of mine had one go on it, did a wheelie and the front wheel just fell off and rolled away leaving him to land on the forks and faceplant into the concrete and his chestplant onto the handlebar.
His dad never let me come round after that. I must have ridden with it loose for a while before that
