I've been a very silly boy and am posting this as a warning to others My 1st day home after 2 weeks of nights and I decided to do a bit of maintenance on all the bikes. I noticed the rear pads on my Rocky Mountain were almost gone and popped a spare pair in. On spinning the rear wheel to check the brakes were centred I somehow stuck my middle finger through a gap in the rotor and sliced halfway clean trough the tip of my finger! I'm blaming the fact that I was tired after missing a whole nights sleep, but in reality I wasn't thinking about the job in hand ....... what a divvy! Couple of hours in A&E feeling like a right tit and now very sore. I should know better as I was at Degla a couple of years ago when a lad did it in the carpark and chopped his clean off at the first knuckle fair do's to his mate though that picked it up and ran into the cafe for some ice

It's amazing how the smallest things hurt the most! another 4mm and I'd of lost the tip, think I've damaged the nerves cos it feels dead at the tip and it's my front braking finger so it may make me go faster ;D
