Awesome. A guy I used to work with put a Lefty together so the axle was 90* off and didn't notice until he went to install the wheel.2. Rebuilding my fork with the uppers backwards in the lowers

Yup. Only once.-Stuck my finger in the rotor after spinning the wheel. Cut half my fingernail off.
Sorry, but that made me laugh.cleaning my chain, driving an hour to the trail, leaving the chain at home.
Woke up late once for a DH race. Got there, had one practice run and was amazed how well the rear tire gripped better than yesterdays practice. Realized at the start gate that my rear tire was flat. Completed race run and landed 2nd... all thanks to an airless Intense 4ply 909.Intense 4 ply tires
Yeah, I liked that one too.Sorry, but that made me laugh.
It was a rather stupid thing to do that is for sure.Sorry, but that made me laugh.
I hear ya, that is one of the worst things I've ever had to do- I flatted a rental bike not more than 100 yards from the lift.
Impressive! Michael Hutchence and David Caradine would be proud!-Rode home from a trail ride, open automatic garage door, old latch on the door hooks onto my Camelbak, lifts me off the ground just enough that my toes can't really touch and sternum strap goes into my neck. Undo the clip (pretty hard since my arms were at weird angles and my whole bodyweight was on it), door keeps going up and waist strap pulls my arms above my head and resumes strangling/hanging. Eventually kind of forced my shoulders through; did not feel good. So, yeah, my garage door almost killed me.

Ladies and Gentlemen.... We have a winnar!So, yeah, my garage door almost killed me.
I've done this exact same thing.Tried to remove an ISIS crank arm using a square taper crank arm puller. Since the ID of the ISIS spindle was bigger than the OD of the puller face, I stuck a penny in there to give the puller a face to push against. In the end the penny deformed and got stuffed into the ISIS spindle. Oops.
You should have tried a Canadian penny, I hear they take more abuse..heheTried to remove an ISIS crank arm using a square taper crank arm puller.

Remember the original Magic Motorcycle cranks/bb? I was working at a shop in WA that sold the heck out of them, had a customer that wanted his installed in 15 minutes, was doing fine until I mounted the crank arms. Didn't realize I had installed them "one spline off" until he went for his ride in the parking lot. He noticed the "womp-womp" of the off-center........Awesome.

eating doritos while bleeding hayes and NOT wearing gloves. I also used to do this while developing film and photos in the darkroom too.
That reminds me of - drinking 12 red bulls 30mins before my race run.drinking 20 beers and sleeping 4 hours the night before riding SJT
