    a few of us went to the local hospital immediately before leaving Swellendam, just down the road from the venue actually and had our eyes flushed out with saline by a nurse/doctor & then had some ointment applied. I think everything was out by the next day & redness is beginning to fade away now.

    I wonder how the guy I saw go otb and crack a collarbone or shoulder is doing... Was that steep descent with a puddle at the bottom that had a line right of it, he smacked straight into a telephone pole.

    It's not ideal...

    Life will change a fair bit, but I have a good support system and look forward to spending more time playing guitar and shaping surfboards and focussing on work and home a bit more. 

     

    Get well soon. Enjoy the rest and the change of pace and you will be back far sooner than you think, and probably stronger too :) Keep well

    I think Sid is running 11spd and the wheels have a 12spd freebody on. the 11 and 12spd is not compatible

    Yep this one. The xdr is sram’s 12 speed freehub body for road so you can fit a 10t on the end of the freehub body (not sure why they couldn’t stick with regular xd like mountain bikes, it’s a little bit longer), and to complicate life in general for me and many others. I have a friend looking for an xdr for Easton hub haha. 

  4. that sounds like a lot for the carbon repair IMO, judging by prices I have heard from other repairs. It really depends on the extent of the damage but I do think it takes away a lot of value. Personally I would be quite happy riding a repaired frame but it definitely harms resale a bit. 

    If you do get the insurance pay out, surely they claim the frame and you can maybe buy it back as salvage, but there is no point repairing it before as you are just fixing their property?
