When I was sixteen I used to ride my bike everywhere, all the time. I hardly walked anywhere. Going down hill under a freeway bridge I hear and feel a little click on my front fork.

I looked down just in time to see this thing go across the fork blades and I went FLYING, doing a 450sumersault. Hit the ground something fierce. broke a spoke and untrued my wheel.

The thing apparently got loose, slid DOWN on the spoke, and turned.

WHY CAN'T THEY MAKE THEM SOFT?! even better just put tape! Thats all I use no danger, no unbalancing and you can cover all the area you want.
