bike safety

[hero of valour]

...after my tumble last week my bike doesnt feel quite right when turning corners, or even slight turns....i went over a big roundabout today, which ive done over 500 times and i could feel my bike going from undeneath me...i was braking ever so slightly and it just dont feel right...ive had it checked over but im stuck on what the problem could be....any hints?

If you are asking "my bike doesn't feel right - what could be wrong with it?" - you are unlikely to get any meaningful answers, tbh. A bit more info would be useful.

Over-inflated tyres? Diesel on the road? Wonky rims causing grabby brakes? Loose saddle?

I find after a tumble my bike feels like it's slipping out from under me, I'm 99% sure it's just in my head though.

Andrew_C has beaten me to it, chances are it's all in your head. I've had the very same sensation after a fall, to the extent that at subsequent turns (this was off-road) I kept going straight on. I'd become hyper-sensitive to the slightest twitch from the front end, which is a longwinded way of saying I'd lost my bottle. It comes back though!

Could just be the state of the roads at the moment? See this thread - http://www.cyclechat.net/threads/tubs-v-clinchers-sew-ups-v-wire-ons.144503/

Alternatively it could just be confidence, perfectly understandable, you don't feel right not the bike. Hope you feel better soon!
