I crashed on a very slippery mud-coated fietspad in the Netherlands with a full touring load with my front Concave wheel. I got into a sort of oversteer-understeer situation at about 10mph, fishtailing increasing to the point where my last front tire-track was completely sideways, wiping the mud clean off the asphalt for five feet, before I flipped off the high-side of the bike and went down on the panniers, tearing one open. And covering myself with mud. The fork was a little bent. The wheel was, of course, fine.
I just re-read my post. I said "sewup equipped bike". I still had my racing sewup wheels but I was riding my newly built Concaves built on my old training hubs.
