That sucks. Time to fire up the insurance, I guess.
In happier news, I've spent an hour and a half spannering and managed to get my chromoplastics onto my pompino. I took slightly drastic measures with the front and sawed four inches off the front of the guard so it doesn't pass under the brake any more, so doesn't foul on it. I had various ideas on how to fix it, and I googled all kinds of things, but in the end I thought you know what? Life's too short for this. I can lose the front of the guard with no real loss of function and just get on with my life. The rear I had to drill to get it mounted on the bit that would be a brake bridge on a bike with centre mount brakes as the mount hole is on the underside. Once that was done they went on ok. If I could really be arsed I'd re-cut the rear stays, as they're a bit long, but I think we all know I'm never going to get round to that.
