Yesterday while riding my Felt F1R scandium road bike I had a crash going down a hill at about 20mph after getting bumped by a training partner. I got a lot of road rash on my knee, hip, elbow, and shoulder, my STI shifters are scraped, the rear skewer is skinned up, and my new Reynolds Alta front wheel was whacked out of true. But the heartbreaker was the side of the top tube which got a ding on it where the handlebars flipped around and dented it. You can only see the dent/ding when the light is on it just right. You can barely feel the dent with your finger, but it's there.
My question: should I worry about this or is it something everyone has experienced at one time or another and simply ignored while they continue to ride their bike?
Oh yeah, is there some sort of post-crash bike checklist that anyone wants to share?
