Ouuuuch. Sounds nasty. Hope you are OK.
Have you read the 'in case of an accident' thread?
Short answer: pair of RS10s, Mavic aksuims, fulcrum racing 7
Long answer: are you OK? Are you sure? Are you sure the bike is OK, other than the wheels? Get everything assessed properly including yourself, work out the cost of putting it right, then work out if you need to claim on driver's insurance.
Oh and the helmet died heroically doing its job on day #1, it's what it would have wanted, and it's in a better place, now :)

Yeah I'm good brother, yeah fortunately read it long before so I've got the drivers details the CAD reference number from the police and a statement/document thingy from the two lovely ambulance ladies so if anything needs to progress I'm all set. Fortunately its on a busy junction so theres 1-2 cameras and have contacted the council & police to get this just incase.
I'm good, its some muscle bruising I suspect as I've broken this collar bone before and it definitely doesn't feel like a break/fracture. Just gonna give it a couple days see how it gets on and if it gets worse/better. Yeah I've taken it to my local halfords and all is well (thank god) just had to tweak the derailleur a little as it was pushed over and brushing the chain slightly.
Thanks for your concern buddy!

Just been taken out on the way home from work. Two cars in central reservation going right (one infront of the other) along the Telford Road (North Ciruclar A406) cross road with A109 Bounds Green Road. One pulled out infront of me just about missed it and the second one followed suit but unfortunately couldn't do anything, luckily hit the back end of the car went over the handlebars and hit the tarmac on my shoulder. Thankfully the guy stopped, exchanged details got the ambulance down to check me out as my shoulder is more fucked than America after the presidential election, gave me some ££ as was on his way.
Only had my Raleigh Criterium Sport a week and the front wheel is slightly buckled and my day old Giro helmet is now cracked. Question is would anyone reccomend a good affordable front wheel or wheelset to get?
Cheers guys
