Just when I thought I'd seen all the mechanical f-ups possible after I wrenched my own bike about 1.5 yrs ago (full groupset/cockpit upgrade, had to learn it all from scratch and made literally every mistake known to man and then some), did an Oly race today and a little over halfway through the bike leg, my freaking right bar-end shifter decides to fall completely out of the aerobar. Apparently, the plug-screw that holds it tight somehow came loose, and ended up detaching from the shifter (it slid backwards into the aerobar). Luckily, I was already in a 'medium' gear, so it worked out fine, but WTF.
Anyone else have this or any other weirdo mechanicals on race day? Feel free to share!
