Was doing my normal commute yesterday morning and slid the rear wheel unexpectedly in a turn. I wasn't sure what caused the bike to slide until I looked at the footage when I got home.
Bike's electronics + putting my foot down helped me keep the bike up (I had flash backs to the slippery water xings).
It looks like there's a wet patch and possibly what caused the slide. I was also 5 min into the ride so my tires were probably cold. I usually scan for gravel on turns but I guess this wet patch completely missed my attention. Good reminder to be ever vigilant.
I don't think my lean angle was that intense to cause such a slide. I'm also wondering if these tires just like to slide.
Observations welcomed.
