Well palyed !

Bringing a bike to a safe halt from that speed is no easy task... or maybe it's just a great bike as well ??


I've not heard of anyone having a front end deflation on the roads like this. Maybe a tear in the rim tape? or a pinch from the tyre being fitted (but didn't puncture at the time) previously, some grit between the tube and tyre that's gradually wore through or it could be, as you say, over heating??

A word of caution about the HD tube, it has thicker walls, and therefore will generate more heat at speed, and is probably more inclined to suffer at speed. Personally, I'd have stuck with the normal tube.

Well done for staying alive, many others wouldn't have done so well. Buy a lottery ticket!
