Yes, compared to what we ended up eating the following day.

Your ride through 🇨🇭 and 🇩🇪 makes me want to return one week later! Didn’t get to 🇨🇭, but must book it for next time!

Agreed! And in my case, exchange the letter “ f” for a “ p” in foret.. ;)

That's not bent. It is seriously twisted! Watch out that metal fatigue doesn't result in total breakage. It would really be a shame to have your trip come to a crashing halt.

I think it's pretty interesting that the same town is split like this and it's so easy to simply go down the hill cross the bridge and be in another country

Yes, I probably was risking it to be riding the bike at all that morning. I was fortunate that we made it to the bike shop w/o incident

We had heard similar recommendations from other friends who have done this route and Stein am Rhein did not disappoint. It was such a charming and beautiful little town

So to be more specific, I heard a loud snap when I was working on some other issues on the bike this morning and suddenly I noticed my QR skewer wouldn't tighten. The nut would screw in and stay, but was super loose.

They had a matching sized QR Skewer at the bike shop here and I actually noticed when installing it that it wasn't really the skewer that had broken, but the nut on my old QR skewer was somehow damaged. I have a nice DT Swiss skewer that you can get super tight and I guess I'd been locking it down so hard for so long that I somehow managed to break the thread on the nut.

So ultimately, I kept the original DT Swiss skewer and just replaced the nut.
