Has anyone watched the CG crash vid!??!!
Its on vitalmtb...not sure its forum safe.

Crap on my face, I struggled watching all of it

BaJ · 21 Dec 2013 at 07:15

Oh my wow, that's unbelievable!

To stay that calm, what a guy.

Caseh · 21 Dec 2013 at 09:01

Urgh, that was grim.

Begbie · 21 Dec 2013 at 10:43

Wow, what even happened there?

Phone only played half the video, what caused the puncture wound? Grim.

kieranv · 21 Dec 2013 at 13:23

Broken pelvis I think.

What an absolute legend.

Looks more like ruptured femoral artery to me hence the blood gushing out :eek:

Not been having much luck the last couple of years.

Mon deur! That was eye opening, especially as the initial accident looked so pony. I know it's not a funny video but I did have a little chortle at "do you want the shoes", "nah he's sponsored".

Oooft for an unassuming crash that was pretty disturbing

Yeah, sorry, meant to say broken pelvis which ruptured an artery. But apparently it was him landing on his handlebars which did it, which makes it scary for me, as I landed on my bars with my chest in France and was out the game for a while.

Either way, to stay that calm in a situation like that is amazing, Cedric is superhuman.

Jonny ///M · 21 Dec 2013 at 20:09

Must be have a good supply of green in Spain to be that calm.

I've switched to cut down risers on one of my commuters. So all of my brake levers are designed to sit on the flat part of the bar, but on the risers they'll only go on the curve or on the rise and stick out at a funny angle. Are there angled finger levers out there or do I need to use BMX levers?

be careful sending your forks via royal mail !!!

http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/royal-mail-have-binned-my-rear-shock?replies=99

Got a new frame recently and the Fox Float CTD Kashima had a minor fault where the CTD lever made no difference, seemed to always be in descend mode.

Spoke to Mojo who advised I send it to them for inspection/repair.

Sent it by Royal mail recorded over a week ago and have just found out that RM have disposed of the item as it was considered dangerous!

The note on the file was that it was an air cannister and was a dangerous item.

Have been told there is little chance of me getting it back! No compensation as it breached their policies

neil_g · 23 Dec 2013 at 15:11

why would you ever use normal recorded delivery anyway? the insurance is nowhere near enough.

Andelusion · 23 Dec 2013 at 15:32

OcUK was actually quoted in that thread

robj20 · 23 Dec 2013 at 15:36

Not for biking reasons though. Good of Mojo to send him a shock i thought.
