True tales: I bought some Mavic TT bars and fitted them to my old Charge. 'This will be rad!' I thought. Having set them up in my youthful exuberance, I took them round for a spin, to see what I speed I could get up. With hands on the extensions and probably doing ~23mph I decided to pull a little skid.
Hadn't fastened the aero extensions enough. They slid down, rotating around the bars. They came in to contact with my front wheel.
I did not feel fast, or smart, that day. I felt stupid and in pain.
