The nightmare that pops into my head every time I’m on a descent! Sorry that happened, hope you’re ok!

At least you won’t be one of those memes where the bar tape has 10 lbs of salt behind it.

Wipe down the shifters and rewrap, good as used

If ya wanna go fast…buy a road bike. Going fast on gravel is a stupid idea.

Damn, you alright? I had a crash at similar speed on chipseal asphalt and I was lucky to emerge with minor scrapes and a new helmet. One foot over I would’ve crashed into the path of an oncoming car. Sucks about the bike, but you really just gotta sand down any sharp bits on the brake lever and replace the bar tape. I blew up my shifter completely and decided to take the opportunity to upgrade my groupset from 1x to 2x

I’m a wimp when it comes to descents, especially on gravel. There will be people bombing down the hills and then me alternating between coasting and pumping my brakes.

Glad you seem to be ok. Sorry about your butt.

Good to hear you’re not seriously injured.
If it’s any consolation, your front and rear mech are in good shape. Also, your frame and saddle appear unscathed.

It adds character
Ouch! Lost traction in a corner I presume?
Damn! Well hopefully back at it soon! 💪🏻

Maybe you need a mountain bike with knobby tires
