I became even more worried especially since I do not wear a helmet.
Do you choose not to wear one or do you find it difficult to afford one?
Protecting your head with a good bike helmet is really important. Please minimize the risk of serious injuries to your face, head or brain or even death.
If you can't afford a helmet, I wonder if any of the forum members have an old one that they no longer need that might fit you. What size head do you have?
This is the damage in question. It was caused by one of those easily detachable short mudguards (I think).
Thanks for all the replies Also thank you Tim and StuInTokyo for your offer to help me fixing it. I will surely stop by when I'm in Tokyo.
How about the Al forks? Everyone seems to be very quiet about those

With most of the forks being made in Asia these days, you'd think they'd bring out a more traditional version and call them chopsticks© !!!
Thanks very much for the concern. To be honest I have been thinking of getting a helmet. Every time I ride on a day like today, I think of buying one. I guess I will have to stop by a LBS (there is actually only one in my town) and see what they have.
But then us slow to adapt Westerners would be forked trying to ride them!
