Tumble time. Wet road, coming down quite a steep but short hill with lights at the bottom. I see them change whilst still near the top and start feathering the rear as I got close to the bottom I pumped the front a couple of times and then suddenly front wheel locks and skids and I'm on the deck sliding down the road. Luckily no cars too close but I've got a sore arse.
Couldn't believe it, hardly any pressure on the brake, must have hit a leaf or something. Big Apples, thought they were grippy.
