Quality @Origamist !
It is a bugger indeed. I spotted the damage as I unloaded it from the roofrack at Cubes place. This was after giving it a quick check over when I picked it up from the pub and again giving it a clean bill of health. Only when I flipped the bike around to wheel it into his garage did I spot the small area of chipped paintwork on the otherwise undamaged side of the bike.
If you press it in there's a soft bit which gives under pressure in the middle of the tube.It is a bugger indeed. I spotted the damage as I unloaded it from the roofrack at Cubes place.

I believe there are companies that can repair such damage or maybe it is covered by an accidental damage extension on your house insurance if you are lucky?
I can't remember if we suggested it to you after the accident while waiting for the ambulance or when Nick and me discussed the incident but I did put forward the possibility that you had blacked out before falling off as there was no reason for you to go down where you did. Definitely worth raising the idea with your doctor.
Yep, it begins to make sense. I wasn't feeling poorly, had had plenty to eat and drink, yet absolutely blank after I passed nickyboy at top of the lane.That would also fit with the way you were lying @Cubist - flat out face down with your right arm under your body, as if you'd just gone straight down without even putting a hand out to save yourself. You can't have had time to even begin to unclip either, which is probably how the bike ended up on top of you
