And more importantly, how to stop it happening again:
Allow me to set the scene: FoD on Sunday, on the final descent (after coming out of the trees), there is a fast drop with a rather harsh transition on a right hand bend- during the corner, my rear wheel spectacularly lets go at about 25MPH, loses grip and tries to come around to meet me face to face! I hear a god awful screeching sound (like metal on metal), and then manage to somehow through luck, rather than skill recover the slide.
Upon inspection at the bottom of the run, there was Stan’s fluid everywhere along the bead of the tire (along with some of my own no doubt), but other than that, everything looked normal?
I assume the tire tried to escape off the rim, but what would cause this?
I was running about 30psi, the tire is a 2.25 nobby nic and the rim is a stans crest.
I would very much like this not to happen again!
Your thoughts?
