If you decide to tighten your front brake, make sure you can disconnect and reconnect it before taking the front tire off of your bike. Don't tighten it so much you find you can't reconnect the front brake once you're out for a ride and have no tool, so you have to let your front brake flap in the wind.
That would be a silly thing to do, and you would be a silly, silly person.

Multitool: Don't leave home without it. Riding time is too precious to have a ride cancelled due to technical difficulties. You could have also deflated the tire to get the wheel on & off, and then reinflated it to ride, assuming you had a pump. I don't think I would be able to ride without a front brake.
Good idea! Next time I'll bring an extra deflated tire/wheel and a pump.
It was Tranquility. You can do Tranquility without a front brake, I have faith in you.

JC, you're supposed to have all that crap stuffed in your camelback already! Mine weighs like 40 lbs. but you have no idea how many times that spare rim has saved me from hiking out through an angry pack of grizzly bears.
Thanks, Skinny D. I may take you up on that some day.
a.b., but how am I supposed to fit that extra rim in when you've convinced me I need to be carrying a spare frame?
If you don't have room for both, you might as well stay home.
