Well, there you have it, the man riding untested unproven death trap accident waiting to happen Chinese carbon wouldn't ride that
So I killed my back wheel on a pot hole tonight on the way home, can the bike shop sort me out with just the wheel or will they need the hole bike for truing the wheel etc? Shouldn't be an expensive job should it? If it is I'm claiming from the council
Thanks mate! It's a local shop and the guy's sound so I can check first
Ouch. I'm not sure I'd ride that to be honest
I don't want to be the guy that wipes out half of the areas best racers when my fork snaps mid bundy.
Especially when I work in a bike shop
Will use stevies bike for now, might order an orca(£2k for 105) or a felt f4(£1900 ultegra).
I know I can get a better price on the orbea, within £30 of the felt trade price. If I can get felt to go lower than standard then it'll be not too expensive.
I'm wearing DHB Light Regulate arm 'warmers'. Not sure on their UV protection but they're light and thin enough for cooler mornings. I wouldn't have a problem wearing them in 20 degrees or more!
Fork does look like it's sprung and the paint kinda reflects that. It might be ok but looking at the paint bubbling and some marks a little further along there could be a crack across it?Decided I don't really want to ride my cannondale after the collision with a car the other night there.
Fork was looking a little corroded before but when I took the wheel off to true it(it's still pringled) paint under the crown had folded up and cracked. Not sure if it's just the corrosion or because I had the car hard enough to damage the fork.
Got this as a backup for now to ride to work on Wednesday then hopefully training ride on Thursday. It's the guy with the AR2 and S2, nice customer is nice.

Shouldn't be much if it just needs a buckle removing and a retrue as all that is, is labour and experience (not parts). Unless you cracked the rim/broke some spokes.So I killed my back wheel on a pot hole tonight on the way home, can the bike shop sort me out with just the wheel or will they need the hole bike for truing the wheel etc?

Looks good but still not great to see number plates (looking at the Prius at the start)?
What capture is that 960p or full 1080p? It looks similar to my VIRB @ 720p (when looking at numberplaces). Although your overall picture does look better than mine, the main reason I've got mine for is number plates...
Really need to sort the vibration on mine, think it's just the Superstar mount struggling with the weight of the VIRB & 810. GoPro session is obviously loads lighter and wouldn't suffer the same...!
Yeah I thought it wasn't very good! To be honest my 720p footage is better than that! I tend to edit my 720p in VIRB Edit and then save it as 1080p before uploading to YT. I find when I do the compression on YT doesn't do too much to the quality. I found saving/uploading as 720p the tool seems to go overboard, especially with any camera shake, making things look terrible! VIRB Edit obviously has very few settings about compression, the only indication you have is the estimated output filesize.
Yeah my speeds are good (currently!), must've found some form! I'm really enjoying thrashing along the flats! I'm finding more and more progress in my riding by working on maintaining speeds and cadence up any slight slopes. This is obviously better on main roads where the lack of corners, better road surfaces and more gradual gradients allow more concentration on form/power/cadence rather than being distracted by road debris/potholes/oncoming vehicles. I'm going to try and work on more threshold kinda work on flat roads to hopefully help me climbing.
Goodluck! Which axle vice did you get? Interested to hear how you get along with it as need to pick one up myself to rebuild some Roval hubs (rebranded DT Swiss')!
