Having been enjoying the smoothness of the new headset I installed last night on my ride to work this morning, I was track standing behind a queue of traffic when, with all the smoothness in the world, I felt my front wheel turn in a manner sickeningly seperate from my bars. Here's one for "oh shit" moments, thought I as I hit the pavement.
Insufficiently tightened stem. Horrible feeling.
