Hence the 'proper' injury part. A few scrapes have never put me off but stitches is a different story.

Of course I have.

I assumed that I knew how to ride in the wet (and I still do but I feel that being cautious in certain situations might be worth it) but once you have a proper injury, you learn more and if you are ever in similar conditions, you will remember that lesson.

Thanks for the kind words.

Completely agree with you. Spun out in a similar fashion (it was pouring down however) about 7 or 8 months ago and while the injuries were minor (scraped knees etc), brought down the confidence of riding in the wet for a while.

Was riding fast downhill while the ground was a bit moist and as I was going into a hard corner, felt the bike lose a bit of traction (was going a bit too fast and cornering too hard), had a tiny wobble, regained control but was too late and ended up kissing a lampost/railings on that corner -- face first. People that seen me mash my face called an ambulance and the day ended with me having a nasty cut (11 stitches) between my eye and eyebrow, massive black eye + swelling, sore jaw and surprisingly, very little damage to bike (instant puncture and the lip of the rim is slightly bent at 2 parts). All in all, a shit experience but certainly made me appreciate and respect ambulance service a lot more and when I can finally see from my right eye and I get back on the road, I certainly won't be pulling hard corners like that anymore.

Noticed these frames a while ago being sold in BLB and they peaked my attention. The one I was semi interested in was the Mataro but now it appears they've released a super cheap Cordoba for a mere £155. Interested in knowing whether anyone has experience with the brand and/or any input into the matter.

Mataro

Here's the link to BLB and actual link to Aventon website.

Good luck

I'm about 90% sure that Fitzrovia have them and about 70% that BLB have them.

A long shot but looking for 2x 23c Gatorskin Hardshells (and Hardshells only). New or barely used only.

PM me with details.

Cheers

The BKB rabbit appears to be down for me and has appeared that way for a few weeks now. Anyone else experiencing this?

Brief description of why mdcc_tester's reviews are worth listening to would probably be handy.

Results?

Oh crap, didn't bother reading through the thread. GLWS in that case!

I should learn to read

Yet another price drop

SL42 does have a braking surface, it simply matches the colour of the rim.

Another price drop

A mini D would be more secure, although this would be a good second lock.

This is also a perfectly fine main lock as people underestimate it's sturdiness. If the thief really wanted your bike, he could destroy either. Regardless, I should've said that it's just a bit too big for me now.

Price drop

Selling my Abus lock. It's no more than 2 months old and has a few scrapes and scratches (the usual stuff) but works exactly like it should. Comes with 2 keys (1 with the little light) and the replacement key card. Selling because don't really need something so secure anymore and will be moving onto a mini or something. It's the 100cm version.

Can deliver to Central London depending on exactly where.

SOLDDD

Anyone know a decent surplus store in London that might sell the goretex trousers?
