So, brand new (Only about 300 or 400 miles on it) CAAD10, and I were wanting to grab something from the grocery store. CAAD is on the roof on a fork mounted bike rack (Front wheel removed). Low overhang at 6'10" makes contact with bikes handle bars, and breaks the fork away from the rack mechanism, and then slides the bike backwards off the end of the rack slides, and my beautiful caad is now laying in the parking lot.
I really don't see much physical damage, however the fork / handlebar seem to be loose / disconnected from the frame. I am going to take it in to the shop tomorrow to see what kind of damage there is. Looks like the fork at the very bottom where the wheel connects to the fork has broken, so I am guessing a new fork will be needed. I am just worried there is some hairline crack in the frame from the trauma, or from the fall off of my SUV.
Any input from anyone, or advice?
Everyone in the parking lot was just as devastated as me.
