I'm a bit more bruised this time and at least the bike didn't need fixing, However now concerned about the bike and whether it's safe, there are some hills on the Austria race which are likely to be a bit bigger than the ones I have been doing Already bought the new helmet, but with four weeks to go to my race what do I do? New bike, lead weights, new wheels, or just ride the breaks all the way down ? Any suggestions welcome

Switching your forks might be a more cost effective solution than changing the bike. What sort of bike are you riding?
