x2

I dropped my bike recently Frame slider took almost all the damage.

It was an honest mistake, turned too sharply into a parking lot with a slight curb on the entrance - something any car would've made it over with ease yet too much for the bike, front tire hit on an angle and then followed the curb, and the bike went down.. Hopefully you don't make the same mistake, yet frame sliders sure help if you do.
