I repaired a puncture on my front wheel today but made a very dumbo mistake.
When I put the wheel back in, I only had one side of the axel actually in place, the other side was just behind the actual insert. It is a quick release wheel so it tightened up enough that I didn't notice my mistake and road for a about fifty yds before I realised what I'd done.
Apart from a little paint missing of the very bottom of the carbon forks, there doesn't appear to be any obvious damage to the forks. However the spoke did make a bit of an odd sound, kind of a twanging sound. It was this sound and the fact that I felt felt like I was riding a penny farthing that made me pull over and realise my mistake.
No spokes have broken but the wheel isnt quite true any more (though I'm not 100% sure if I t was slightly out already) and I'm a little paranoid that I've done some damage that may lead to my fork snapping or wheel collapsing as I'm on a very fast downhill run.
Anyone else been a twonk like me in the past?
