Ow. And how was 90mph flat out? Is it restricted? Or is it a new one with a power sapping cat converter?

Any pics of the wheel?

By the way, if he doesn't already know about it, tell him to go to Mito Mondo (www.mitomondo.co.uk) from spare parts (eg. a new wheel). They are very good.

IDIOT -- FFS, 90MPH in a 30 zone -- IDIOT, ask him if he wants to die early and not in 70 - 80 years time ?

yea come on, they didnt make it 30 for no reason you know...

Might want to get the frame/fork alignment checked as well. By the sound of the accident either could well have got slightly bent. In which case it's going to cost a lot more than just a new wheel to fix.

Jeez, i agree with Ian.

If he can only ride ridiculously and not responsibly, he doesn't deserve to have a bike.

Good thing he wasn't seriously hurt.

Riding at 90mph down a 30 limit road which you don't even know what there is in it is kind of asking for trouble. Glad to here he is okay though, and hopefully he has learnt he lesson.

And if the top speed has been made lower by him changing the gearing then he has down geared it no up geared it.
