went down last night. was pegging it along an empty road and took a long wide corner at speed, the bike just came out from underneigth me. no damage apart from the MKS logo being completely scraped off the side of one of my brand new pedals.
i was wearing a leather jacket and gloves, which was lucky becuase i slid about 10 ft. would have done terrible things to my bare skin and clothes.
it was on my MTB with road tires, as my road bikes are currently in pieces. im a little concerned that it was that easy to go down on chunky wheels and tires, it doesnt bode well for when i get them road bikes with thier skinny wheels and slick tires back togather.
