not quite as dramatic as VB makes it seem - I was waiting for my front brake to arrive but was absolutely gagging to ride. Took my bike into work (very slowly, I hasten to add) coz it was Critical Mass that evening and ended up hitting the rear of a pick-up (at very slow speed) when he decided to change his mind when overtaking a stationary bus.
Had my brake for a good while before making it redundant and not had any real problems since (at least nothing beyond my control)
Sucks about your mate Max, hope all's well.
