i was riding 45km/h when my front blew out this morning. the wheel blew, the bike veered right towards a guardrail, i steered left away from the guardrail and fell hard on my left side. sadly i'm in a cast and off the bike for a few weeks while i undergo three rounds of surgery to repair my left hand. i'll spare you the gory medical details.
the bike did much better. the points of contact during the slide were the rear QR skewer, left pedal, left crank close to the bb, left brake lever, right crank tip and left side of the seat back. the front wheel rim is heavily gouged so i think it is done.
i plan on doing a complete teardown to look for other damage. anyone have experience with crash damage on a silvio? should i be concerned about the carboyoke?
