After riding 60 some miles through the hills in the heat I was tired and left the front wheel behind my car while loading the bike on the roof rack. As I am backing up, the car runs over it and I hear the sound of splintering carbon.
Game over. The rim is torched, several spokes are bent and my quick release is now s shaped. I think the hub is ok, but I am not going to salvage it. I put about 1000 miles on the hubs and after the initial loosening was addressed, had no problems at all.
