This happened yesterday. Someone casually left a bud light platinum bottle on the the bike path. I knew the debris field was there but a car happened to come on me so I couldn’t avoid it. Made it another 5 miles or so before I started to feel the squishy ness.


Bought a new tire and went to put my wheel back on, had a little bit of a scare. The axle wouldn’t tighten. I must have spent 30 mins trying to get it to tighten. I called trek and they told me to squeeze the chain stay together and then tighten. Still nothing. I took the wheel off and still couldn’t get the axle to tighten.

Ran it to the shop in great haste. Manager ran the axle through backwards and just like that it was fixed. Still not sure what the problem was, but my days of dwelling on it are over.
