Well on today's outing my rear derailleur decided to end its life in spectacular fashion by trying to mate with the rear spokes. It's life was ended by being ripped in half and loosing parts of itself all over the road. Fortunately for me I was able to get out a multi tool, break the chain, remove the knackered part, shorten the chain and turn my cross bike into a single speed. Limped home slowly with my dead part in my back pocket, but made it safely back. New one is already on order, so normal service should be resumed soon. Of course this did have to happen 12miles from home, but life is always full of adventures....
Anyone else got good tales on botched up roadside repairs.?
