When I flipped my stem, face plate off, garmin stem mount off, remove and replace spacers, replace bars and face plate, align stem and torque bolts....to realise its a 0° stem and it's exactly the same angle however you mount it

🤔🙄

When you are not happy with your latest bar tape affort as there is a 1mm lift on the bend, then having removed it down to the shifter and put 2 turns back on it, it snaps in half.
Screw you Deda Mistral bar tape
Screw you funny shaped aero carbon bars

Lol! Something I’ve done more than once is fit a new hollowtech bottom bracket without the required spacer.

Bleeding the brakes today, forgot to put the bleed block in the front brake and popped out a piston onto the shed floor🙄

I did the Shimano brake bleed thing with the cup fitted to rear brake lever, and syringe fitted to front caliper. Lucky the whole system didn't explode with the had shaking compression I was putting on the syringe. Idiot.

Keep it. Gives all the benefits of ovality without having to shell out for a new chainring.

I spent a couple of minutes checking gears and rear wheel before I spotted it.

Shimano doesn't allow it to happen so I just assumed that if it went on.....
