I lost the stem on my front wheel yesterday riding home from my friends house. I remember a local tire chain posting a commercial regarding cheap valve stems from china(and how they would replace your stems for free). Now I have no idea when this particular stem was installed, but I'm sure it was defective. My tire pressure was correct when I checked a couple weeks ago, and I was cruising at 40mph on smooth pavement when it failed.
I suggest you take a look at your stems.
*Just in case your wondering, I was 3 miles from home and rode her home in 1st gear never going over 10mph. It was a surprisingly easy ride home, the bike is so well balanced. Now I get to replace both tires
~O~
