I'd spent 40 mins climbing/tootling to here, had a quick breather, dropped the old saddle and set off, fast, far too fast, approximately 30 seconds later i hit a nice jump, 5 seconds after that i hit a rock square on and it just fired me clean out and over!! Today i ache, and yesterday i had to walk home!! 🙄

Tacoed wheels can sometimes be pushed back into shape.

If there's no rim damage you've nothing to lose by trying.

I use Pringle as a verb, as in 'Hee hee, he's pringled his wheel.'
