Re:
Today I may have exceeded the capabilities of my bike, or my skills, or both probably. :facepalm:
What was marked as a Black trail on Trailforks started off easy, maybe too easy, as half way down it changed into a rocky rooty monster, cue a loud "thunk!" followed by a few "Twangs!" and then the bike lost speed rather quickly... looked down and the rear wheel had gone the shape of a Pringle and was jammed in the stays
Managed to bend it enough so it turns. Only 3 spokes broken, not sure if the rim will straighten up again though. Will have to get it repaired or replaced before next weekend!
