| I find those pictures a bit inconclusive, all they show is a broken wheel.
Did the wheel shatter causing the rider to bin it? Or, did the rider bin it causing the wheel to shatter?
We've all seen pics of alloy or mag wheels being bent to bugg*ry by some big offs, especially if kerbs or rumble strips are involved. I could quite see that carbon wheels don't bend but just explode under the same circumstances. |
