Yep this works great until it doesn’t. When I crashed after hitting a gravel patch it literally felt like a video game that skips a frame. My thoughts were “Gravel!” “Wait am I on the ground?” And a few moments later I stopped tumbling. There was zero time for a reaction of any kind. Happened so fast I didn’t even get an adrenaline rush out of it.
Luckily insurance paid for bike damage and new gear. I only got a bruise where my elbow missed the elbow pads. Bike stopped maybe 50ft down the road.
