So, this season has been my first go at racing CX. I've done well enough to win a couple of Cat 4 40+ races. Anyways, I was in Louisville racing Nationals Mens 40-49 and the Start went well, I moved from 23rd (callup) to near 10-15th position and then on the first fast winding downhill section, my rear Tubular completely rolls off the rim. Game over! Had to run back to the pits to get another wheel to continue but by that time it was "just finish" mentality. Really disappointed.
So what happened? bad glue job? tires were Glued on around November 9th-10th by local shop and have done about 4 races on them prior to today with no real issue. I did notice a "Hop" in the tire though when I spun it on a stand. I was running 24-25 psi in that tire. I weigh 160#. Conditions were slick hence the lower pressure.
Thanks.
