Got too close with another guy when drafting, spokes hit the dropouts of the other guy's bike and got pulled out of the rim (these are them cheap rims that comes with those cheap fixies), didn't fall though, to my surprise. The spokes went swinging out and hit the fork, giving me a sort of brake, it's a steel fork so it should be fine. Was glad to be at the rear of the pack, would have been worse if I was ahead. Got home limping though, closed the spoke holes with a rock, bent the spokes straight and managed to give them slight tension with a folding allen set a friend of mine had, bike was running but with a huge wobble.
