Hmmm...looks like it needs trued. Got a slight wobble in it.
Put wheel in wheelfork on roof of car before heading to BV this weekend, but didn't tighten the quick-release enough. Sho'nuff, hit 80mph on the interstate, and the wheel goes flying off behind me. So I stop to run back and pick it up - half of the cars in Colorado managed to drive around it - and as soon as I get to the side of the road adjacent to the wheel, a semi comes haulin' ass through and BLAMMO!
Spokes go flying.
So I hustled out to pick up the wreckage.
Don't worry folks - the tire's OK. And if you want to see the carnage firsthand, it'll be hanging on the Wall o' Destruction at the Mountain Pedaler in Eagle.
Anybody got a Ksyrium front wheel they want to sell cheap? Anybody? Bueller? Bueller?
got a set of ksyrium es's for sale for around 500. the ones with the red spoke. same thing happened to my deep dish carbon wheel a few years back, got run over by a truck on the interstate, but luckily somehow came out of it unscathed...
