To put a bicycle upside down while repairing it, could possibly damage the bicycle.

It’s that awkward conundrum between not putting the bike upside down to not damage it and not resting the bike on the rear derailleur not to damage it. :thinking:

Cannock. England.
20 mins later I got out of shape on a jump. Lost my line. Hit a tree stump. Over the bars. Managed to pause my garmin with my groin!!!

All ok though!!

Great fun!
