To cause damage to shifters requires some serious energy to be directed to it, after my falls in the past and my recent ones the only damage I had was to a hood and some scratching on the lever! Rear Derraileur is usually the first thing to die!

On an unrelated note, I'm on the hunt for some nice new bibs. I want something that perhaps protects me a bit from rain/is a bit warmer. And then 2 pairs for summer riding. Any recommendations?

So I did my first ride today in over 3 months and my fitness has dropped off the cliff. I'm about 35% down on cruising power and HR from my peak last October.
Ah it's mainly cosmetic damage I think. The shifters still work, but you can see inside them now. They had some plastic cover on the front, both sides smashed into a million pieces.

I'm kinda hoping it comes back pretty quick
Also I still haven't heard about Ride London My friend didn't get in and I'm not sure I want to do it alone, even if I do get in.

Budget?
Bib budget, anything from £60 to around £200. I'm willing to pay for good quality.

Ouch! Hope things are easily sorted for you mate - the rash will clear up just take it easy. I found the best thing was to keep it covered (couple of large plasters in my case) to avoid aggravating the damage and surface until the damaged skin had died, once it has keep it moist and exposed to the air if possible to aid healing... Mine was easy on my knee, hip was a little more interesting, your a** (?) could be even more so lol
Components are the more worrying thing, hope your friend knows shifters as they're probably the most expensive part if they're knackered... Mine both took the brunt of the slide when I came down - was thankfully on my left side so RD was untouched. The damage to them is purely cosmetic so I've not done anything about it, will probably touch them up with black nail varnish when next doing a 'full' service. Need to get some white and some silver nail varnish too lol
