injury 

kinda pissed that the very first bike with disc brakes I ever bought had them maladjusted so badly I basically never got full braking power and now after over a year of building wrong braking habits I taught myself to adjust them properly and immediately crashed. Nothing too bad but I need to replace my kickstand and I'm gonna feel some of these bruises for a while

idk if I wanna go to the bike shop that sold me the bike and adjusted my brakes once and complain but I kinda want to. maybe they'll give me a free kickstand. they probably won't.

now I finally get why people rave about disc brakes, still it would've been impossible to set up rim brakes this wrong without it being obvious

@noiob get well soon ^^
Hopefully the bruises don't stay for to long.

I gotta pick up how to maintain my disc brake some time as well. I feel like the front one has been getting a bit less responsive. Love these breaks :D

@hcsch it's really not that hard, I wish I'd done it earlier, I'll gladly show you. Would've saved me some annoyance and possibly this crash
