I mean, I know how it happened, I was riding along on yellow at Sals last night, warming up as I was waiting for a friend to arrive, and all the sudden I was flung over the bars and landing face first.
But upon looking at it again tonight, it occurred to me that the offending branch seems to have come from behind the wheel? That is the part I cannot wrap my head around.
The picture is head on- the wheelset was built maybe two weeks ago, I almost cried then and there, but after I wrestled it out, the wheel sprung back and seems to spin straight, so that's good.
