Damn! Bad karma just paid me a visit.

Got the front wheel buried to the QR in a bridge expansion joint. Luckily I was only moving at about 2 MPH, but still... sudden stop followed by endo and me flying off the bike, of course.

A picture of the worst damage is posted to Twitter--be forewarned, it wasn't the bike. If you like crimson, forge ahead.

I did have to true the wheel a little. And while I was at it, I tore the hub down and repacked the bearings (Shimano hub that uses loose balls and cones.
