I'm posting this to get opinions about my incident (not accident - I'm fine)
So, pulling away from lights in busy central London and the bike 'sinks' to the ground instantly and stops dead.
It cannot be pushed or pulled (5 people helped to bounce it)
5 hours later it's at my bike shop via AA fun.
The bike shop inform me the pins failed but until they get the bike on the bench they can't give me a fuller story.
Obviously if I was traveling at 40 plus (god forbid at motor-way speeds) who knows what could have happened.
Has anyone else experienced this? (I hope not)
This is a fully serviced 2003, 30,000 mile bike. This shouldn't happen, right? Ever?
Any thoughts?
Cheers
