Anyone else gone to fix a broken chain with a quick link, only to not secure the chain properly and the derailleur tension flinging one half off into the bushes? Good times!

I carried two spare inner tubes around for several thousand miles only to realise the valve stem was too short to go through the rim when I finally needed one.

Did that with the other halfs bike, was lucky the day she got the puncture we were on a club ride, one of the other guys had the right size one, i do carry a puncture repair kit so it would not really have been a problem, but we all do silly things.

I once used a chain splitter and the tensioner flicked the chain around and took a chunk out of the seat stay.

I have done this exact thing.
KMC 10 speed chain quick link, I remember it shining in the sun as it flew away into the depths of my hedge.
Of course it was on a Sunday afternoon before a ride and there were no real bike shops open.
