OUCH THE TAR NEVER GETS ANY SOFTER

[turtlek]

Good evening everyone

 

 

 

just thought i would let you know that the tar in kempton park is freaking sore when hit at speed

 

 

 

i was cruising away from the festival mall where i work and as i looked to the right to check for on coming traffic i went into the corner of the slipway too hard and my rear wheel slid out from underneath me so it is my first official summer crash anmd hopefully i have no more

 

 

 

the worst part about it is my brand new Club kit that was imported is now trashed my Louis garneu custom mouldable shoes are scuffed on the left side my STI is also scratched and my look keo carbon pedal is now worn down so my cleat is exposed at the bottom will post pictures of the roasties down my left side first thing in the morning when i get back to work

 

 

 

thank goodness i was goping slowly (between 20and30) around the corner or else i would have slid in front of a huge big truck!!!!!!

my chick laughed at me then gave me a scrubbing brush and said Harden the F@#k up and Go scrub those things

The damage to the bike just adds character

Sorry to hear that Turtlek, hope that damage is not to expensive or painfull.

 

If you need help with the kleo cleats... they?re my specialty?

TurtleK, I hope the damage isn't too bad. I'm sure you are going to be sleeping on top over the duvet tonight

[Zoo Cookie]

ouch! eina.

[turtlek]

thanks for the offer swissvan but my cleats dont give me problems jkust the lack of carbon on the pedal is the issue

 

 

 

the bike has had enough character this is my fourth fall this year that has caused damage but it is minor damage

 

 

 

i am most cross about the shoes and cycling kit because my shoes just cost me R2500

Looks like the tar in Gauteng is a bit softer than here in the Cape 

It also doesn't help hitting the road at 54km/h

Could you re-run the test at 70. We need more data in order to be able to do interpolation.

Did you slide or roll across the tar?
