i noticed a slight wobble in my back wheel yesterday, and when i put my bike in the rack at work, i did hear a worrying cracking noise, but decided to ignore it. after work, it was obvious that the wheel was totally broken, so i had to abandon two wheels and get the bus home. i collected the bike later in my car.
i haven't had time to examine the damage yet, but i am seriously toying with the idea of getting a whole new bike, rather than patch this one up (again). exactly the same thing happened to my previous bike, only this time when i was pulling away from a busy set of traffic lights in bristol; then, i instantly ground to a halt in a bus lane, luckily nothing was behind me at the time.
