Earlier today I went for a ride on roads that are poorly kept and heavy with traffic. Approaching a narrow bridge the typical cockroach passed me only a few inches from my left leg with the intention of beating me to the bridge. I was going some 25kmp and had no choice but to fall right on a pretty deep hole covered with some loose sand (so the hole was somewhat disguised). The front wheel hit the edge of the hole, the wheel kind of dipped in the sand, and bounced back on the road. My arms, of course, felt like they'd broken or something but I didn't fall.
For a fraction of a second I thought about how much my arms hurt, but my eyes went after the front wheel looking for damage. Zero. Nothing. The Veloflex tubular as if nothing had happened, as well as the Reflex rim. These are 32 holes wheels made by Ergott. If had been riding carbon wheels, I'd probably still be trying to lift myself up from the road. It was so cool to see my front wheel intact that I just hit the pedals and forgot the pain in my arms. Shoes must be made out of leather, wheels must be made out of alloy, atmo...
