My first thought was to remove the wheel and check out the frame visually. Then stick another wheel on.
Then decided to wait until the Police come, in case they want to see it.
Going to have a word with the guys at my local shop tomorrow. It’s a different brand shop to mine, but they have a good bunch of well trained lads and will be happy to check it out for me.
you have my deepest sympathy and I hope for the best outcome for you in this scenario.
- However, I would like to respond to your worries about potential frame damage; my bet, (this is my opinion i'm not a professional)
I think your frame will be absolutely fine. - Carbon is not a material to get tangled with in a tug-of-war battle. - Especially against metal.
It was a battle between your seat/chainstays yielding; or the wheel rim/spokes yielding. Carbon V Metal ( I assume your frame is carbon.)
In that scenario, carbon would come out the victor; as it just loves pressure but hates high intensity impacts. - That rim would of provided alot of cushioning to your frame; think of it as an expendable pillow.
The damage i'm sure is as already listed in your first post. - This will not be the end of that bike.
I hope this gets resolved for you, my man.
