On the my commute into work this morning I went over a pot hole the jolt was that bad it snapped the exhaust and my pannier mounting brackets.

The question is do I try an claim of the council for an oxford rack that cost me 40 quid 10 years ago from the BMF show and an exhaust that has already been welded up (even though the break is in a different place from the weld)?

I think I will take the bike into bike treads later today so they can give it a once over.
