Cost £12.95 for another tube, replacement and bending.

23-622 tire/tube holds 110psi fine!

On with the commuting!

edit: Speed was somewhere between 30 and 35kmh (20 or so mph). damn British roads.
Good to hear its fixed & glad you're OK!!!

ALU is very malleable, so not surprised. Just be careful, because bending it with a tool can fatigue that area & deform the profile!!
