Bro is back, and looks like the fall wasnt too serious, but he's got a chipped ulna.So itll be about 2 weeks before cast is off. And the weird thing is, it happened right after seeing Rheicel and Clair off on that overpass thing.

I can't believe you could get through those bends at 45km either. That's nuts! I suppose I know now why I don't race!

BTW, do you think he'd over-inflated those tyres? The rear one popping while you wheeled it in the driveway kinda gives the game away, I think.

You're prob right though. The hole was on the side of the tube, so it must have blown up and not due to running over glass or whatever. And the tyre itself spun a quarter of the way from where it originally was. One part of the rear bead is broken now, so that tyre is gone.

My tyres have cracks everywhere, I am worried now too!QuangVuong wrote:130 psi, which is the tyre's max. With him on the bike, surely the pressure would've gone over.

I'll be putting on CRX Open Corsas (25mm) when they come in during the week. Should be interesting.
And yes, rhreicel, I'd be looking at changing them. The IRCs had tiny cracks in them. Indeed lucky one didn't blow on a ride.

While the tyre has given out and is now up for replacement I would consider the tube first as it was the failing point from what I can gather, (correct me as required) While the tyre indicates 130psi max, (new condition tyre and tube) was the tube an equivillant for the pressure? Pure race conditions and equiptment, yes, max pressure. Leisure and retro pull back to perspective. Myself, I don't have any tyre over 100psi at any time, and only the best tyres, tubes and rim tape in place will be at this level of pressure. Retro tyres are generally aged and the tubes are likely to be the same so check as you go and keep aware, TO THE MAX is a cautionary so stay on the right side of caution.
See ya back out there soon Minh.

Frailer (Paul) Best Veteran, runner up was me of course
Recumbenteer (Mark), Best UCI Offender
QV Maillot jaune (Quang) tour leader throughout

... good point on the tubes. And am getting more conservative about pressures too.

Another update on the stack. The shoes that Minh just got off Andy other week, are destroyed as well. The heel and sole pretty much peeled away from the shoe. Good thing he didnt buy a new pair.

Alterations to route based on experience are welcome. We're talking 2~3 weeks off anyway; plenty of time. Restaurant looks nothing much in pic, but don't be deceived.
Don't forget 3D flyout button on Map.

Lots of debris on M5. Glasses and sharp metals. They sweep the breakdown lane regularly tho. I had a flat tyre there, not from glasses but from loose brake cable strandQuangVuong wrote:Ill be in for either 24th or 31st. Never been on the M5 path, so dont know how it is.

Can someone clarify. On mapmyride, the M5 path looks like a (shared with pedestrian?) path, which roughly tracks the M5. I take it no-one's talking about the M5 breakdown lane; not high on my list of dream rides.rheicel wrote:Lots of debris on M5. Glasses and sharp metals. They sweep the breakdown lane regularly tho.
