Riding down pentonville today at about 20mph, just pumped the tires up to 120psi before leaving home as hadn't seen weather forecast, starts raining, gingerly pulled brake, front immediately locks and bike slides right / left on the front locked wheel, is about to enforce a very heavy face plant and I managed to catch it back and keep it upright. All happened in about 1 second. Got my arsehole twitching like a rabbits nose.
