It also appears that the tublar was also not prepped and did not recieve enough glue either. <br><br>I am pretty confident the cause had nothing to do with braking, or the rim heating up, or any other design related issued and was simply basic human error. <br><br> - RyanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4786784182488135171.post-61286390331536792832008-11-12T05:26:00.000+04:002008-11-12T05:26:00.000+04:00This begs a question I had for sometime, are disc ...This begs a question I had for sometime, are disc brakes better at braking power than rim setups?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4786784182488135171.post-43100109460756713402008-11-12T05:18:00.000+04:002008-11-12T05:18:00.000+04:00Ron, those questions cannot be answered well since...Ron, those questions cannot be answered well since there are things we don't know yet. For example, what was the velocity he had. How close was the rider in front of him before he applied the brakes. 100m? 70? 30? I guess you could then come up with a rough figure for braking stop distance assuming he applied the brakes the moment he saw the crash.Xridernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4786784182488135171.post-78035308449857159542008-11-12T05:07:00.000+04:002008-11-12T05:07:00.000+04:00There may be the thinking in people's minds th...There may be the thinking in people's minds that glued-on tires are somehow invincible. Sudden braking forces on the rim together with the twist on the tire while turning can could unseat a tire, so there's not much hope in trying to explain the way it happened, but take a lesson home that glue and rubber unfortunately have their shortcomings so base your riding style around that. Meanwhile, what could this rider have done to avoid it? Should he really have run right into the person in front of him without steering? Could he have braked any harder as he rode straight ahead?
