I lost four spokes on my morning commute when the chain decided to jump off the big cog. Of course I don’t have a spoke protector. (Who needs a dork disc? Bad things won’t happen if you keep your bike maintained. /s) I was lucky to skid to a stop rather than crash when the rear wheel locked up.

PSA: keep a few zip ties in your repair kit.

    I’m sure it’s been years. I tell myself I maintain my bikes well, but I’ll be honest: I usually ride it 'till something breaks. I was asking for this one.
