I've been riding for almost 50 years and on Continental tires for the last 15 years and have never had a tire fail until a few weeks ago. I was riding up the ramp to the GWB (NJ side) when my front tire expoded. It had light mileage and no damage of any kind. The rim is/was in perfect shape and the tire pressure was between 105-110 psi. The tire is rated to 120.

Tire : Continental 4000S, 23 mm 700C

Rim : Mavic Open Pro

A 2" flap tore away from the kevlar bead causing the inner tube to rupture. Luckily I was going only 5 or 10 mph. A few moments earlier on the downhill before the bridge and I would have likely been seriously injured.

I had to walk the bike across the bridge and to the A train

see you at 8:30.

See you at 9:00.

Just when we were all having fun someone locked the thread.. Well I guess thats what would happen in the Hamptons..

I just wanted to correct Cyclist90 and add that if we declared ourselves a church the appropriate diety to worship is Eddy Merckx as any good Velominati knows...

You produced a great event.

Youtube channel Bikeman4U.  He has about a dozen videos up now and is doing about six new ones a day.  The downside is that he is not into high end bikes and components.
