Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

A little gorilla glue and some duct tape and it will be as good as new.

Are you okay?

That was last week, crashed when my chain came off in a road race while standing/sprinting Schleck-style. I'm ok. Here is what my bike looks like now...

Did you run into something? What made the fork snap?

*new fork doesn't look bad. Not great, but not bad.

Wow that was a quick recovery (for the bike)! Glad you're okay!?

On another note...is that Nokon RD cable supposed to arch like that?

Glad to hear you're not hurt.

But I mean.. unless your front wheel came off the ground I can't see what actually caused it to snap. Just flipped over the bars wouldn't do that I would think.. but I guess it did.

Have you posted about this before? This is the first time I'm hearing about it. I'm really sorry. You back to normal?

I'll guess: wheel collapsed from sudden weight shift after chain break, then fork snapped.
