While warming up, just cruising along, not even cranking --*ptDONG!*--
Broke a non-drive side on some POS Shimano 500's, warming up about 1/2 hour before the crit. race I had been looking forward to all season last summer. NO BACKUP WHEELS!!!! OH NOSSS.. (I am a poor Cat 4 wannabe)
I tipped the wheel guy in the pits $20 for having it fixed & ready to go with 5 minutes to spare before start time.
I proceded to have my personal best finish that day.

That's what I get for punishing $150 dollar wheels in crits I guess.
