Rode Monarch Crest Trail this past weekend and a buddy had a couple instances of bad luck that got me thinking about what else could have happened.
1. Brake Rotor was bent from traveling with bike: I straightened as well as I could with gloved hands after it cooled down. Worked well enough to finish the ride with minimal rub
2. Punctured rear tire that took 2 plugs to initially fix - lasted 3 hours until we needed a 3rd plug to get him the rest of the way
3. Broken chain (likely from a rock that was kicked up damaging a link). Lucky that we had a chainbreaker and spare link.
What have you encountered and how did you fix it (or wish that you could have fixed)?
