That happened to me on my first 50. Made for a very miserable last 25 miles.
-
They slipped as a result of the stem bolts rusting and NOT because of the mechanical failings of either my dad or myself
So it was a maintenance error rather than an assembly error. I'm sure @Colin_the_Bald will be along shortly to
apologisegloat. -
Hi Theo, your dad can walk the 350m necessary to kick my arse if he feels insulted. He remains a thoroughly good bloke, but even he would admit to being a legend as a mechanic.

As to the heads down comments, I generally ride heads up but put my head down intermittently as I struggle to keep my head in one position without getting neck ache and so the down position stretches it. My dad is the same; but neither do it for extended periods of time
