Well, after being knocked off on a mini roundabout on Tuesday morning resulting in this....
I get to collect the repaired bike later today. Not sure if I will have time to try it out later and I'm away for the weekend from tomorrow morning but I'm looking forward to trying out the new wheels. I've had a pair of Mavic Aksiums fitted to replace the standard wheels. The woman who wiped me out agreed to pay for any damage so I thought, what the hell. The only other real damage was to one pedal, bar tape & a ripped shoe, all of which are being sorted too. I didn't really like the shoes anyway
Not much damage to me personally, just a few scratches and a bruised ankle, still a bit swollen but I'll live. I've justified the extra cost of the wheels against the cost of fuel to get to and from work that I've had to pay this week & the inconvenience of it all.
I will report on the new wheels. I've read that they make quite a difference, can't wait to see.
