CX Bead Blasting
While I was unable to reproduce Vaughn's Taco-Wheel pictured in an earlier post...
I was able to POP-a-BEAD by locking up my brakes, cutting the "wheel" hard to the right, and launching myself over the bars... trying to avoid t-boning Sam Morrison during a CX jaunt he, Ray Sielski and I did this weekend.
By the end of the day, all three of us were sent packing due to tire failures!
Remember, the whole world is a playground on a CX bike... just remember to wear a helmet :)

Haha yeah, helmet is the key word there! Is the tire destroyed?
Actually, I was able to get it aired down in time to save it. BUT, had ridden one lap thinking the rim was bent, not that the tire had popped! So I was lucky...to be wearing a helmet :)
