Are crashes with squirrels getting caught in the wheels common or is this just the post crash jitters?
wtf is with these squirrels making them dash across? Is it the freehub noise?
1. Glad to hear you have recovered and are riding about.
2. I think this is just post crash jitters. I think the chances of a dashing squirrel caught in the spokes are pretty low. But if you are still worried, buy a wheel with 32 spokes.
