Pretty darn embarrassed, I'm trying not to get a reputation for a sketchy rider and this doesn't help my case. Should I take the bike to a bike shop before riding it in the group again? Should I apologize on the facebook group for the mechanical? Have any of you dealt with people who have mechanicals like this, how sketchy is it/how do I build my rep back besides just not having it happen again. Sorry for the blog post lol
Did your wheel move in the dropouts?
