@HammerTime2: I'm glad to hear both you and cub are safe, and you live to enjoy to ride another day.

Compare a bike to a Ferrari with Dura-Ace/Record/Red as silicon-ceramic disc brakes or KCNC as drum brakes. Which will stop faster?

So right you are, losing grams should come with a gain in performance, both for bike and rider! Though, far too often than not, lighter is stupid.

It was her fault indeed, for crossing while misjudging my speed. Had I not put KCNC brakes on the bike I could've stopped in time, I'm used to always having full control over my bike. A faster bike also decelerates faster.
Nevertheless, I went to visit this lady last week at her shop (she's an artist who works with glass) and we had a good chat with a delicious cup of tea and she told me she was happy to have me "bumped" into her, be it under somewhat less than ideal circumstances. She makes such nice stuff, I may even consider buying one of her creations...
