Such a noob error:
Stopped at a busy crossroads on the way home this evening, waiting for a gap so I could cross to the opposite street. Gap appears, I take off, and half way over the crank decides to stop turning. Standing up, I just manage to force it over the road to safety before it seized up completely.
I adjusted chain tension yesterday and obviously neglected to tighten one of the nuts sufficiently, causing the axle to slip out of whack and jam the tyre up against the chainstay.
Didn't like it. Not going to let it happen again.
