Actually the explosion is the tire tearing itself apart at probably 110 psi or more. The force from an exploding tire can put a nearly 90 deg bend in an aluminum rim. He's using rim brakes on carbon wheels. He probably rode the brakes down a long hill and overheated the rims. Pop! I admire his positive attitude tho. Probably a fun guy to ride with.
I used 23mm Vredestein clinchers for years at 120psi--never had one "pop" lol. Should of gotten a MAVIC open Pro hand-built wheel...sadly 99% of today's cyclists have NO idea what I'm talking about LOL
@@ralphc1405Funny, carbon is "supposed" to be stronger than steel: cheap wheel? I've always run steel or aluminum wheels, though I'm building a bike that's getting a set of Rev-X's, so I'll get to see how those work.
Yeah if the heat build up along with super high pressure that could do it. But it doesn’t look he just came down a hill. He already slowing down coasting not high speed. Still that’s strange to have catastrophic failure like that
Damn, some really mean comments here. Considering that these wheels must be designed to handle much heavier sprinters, I don't think your weight was much of a factor. I hope you got your money back.
To be honest, look at him, he’s probably around 100kg… Pro sprinters does weight 80kg at his max, and they got the best Material they can get, not a propably no-name carbon wheel from china. And it’s not mean to point out a fact, it’s just stupid from this guy to think it’ll not brake at one point, what would’ve been luck if it doesn’t happened…
@@jean-paull.7538 You're right. This guy looks a similar height to Mark Cavendish, whose race weight is 70kg. Having once been 110kg myself, I'd say that this guy is at least 110-120kg. Carbon wheels usually have a weight limit of 110-120kg for the full system

Wow! Happiest guy I seen destroy a carbon wheel. Definitely this guy is not as lightweight as his carbon wheels. Wonder how the warranty claim went down.

man, start to think a little and then comment, 1 do you see the road?, even a reaaly chinese carbon road can hold an insane amount of weight and pressure, the problem is the force that a bump, crash, or fall can produce over them, probably, he gets flat for the road, or he had a puncture and had to continue flat destroying the rim, dont make stupid jokes if you dont know
MarkOne Spokes on carbon wheels? If a spoke on a carbon wheel failed it would mean that the entire wheel would fail. I feel I must congratulate you in your achievement though. Not only have you cycled such a long distance you managed to lose your sense of humour en route. The OP was a joke, hence the 😂. 🤦♂️
Bigger people can still ride centuries and actually be shockingly good in short bursts. My guess is if he was in hilly terrain, the brakes overheated the rim. It weakens the wall on clinchers as the resin heats up.
Yeah, especially at 250lb plus squeezing those levers, heating up the brake pads against the wheels with a ton of friction. Plus cheap Chinese rims from Velo Build. Supposedly that company has a bad rep.
@@MicroageHD with a quality wheelset and quality rim brakes/ pads- it shouldn’t be a problem. But if you mix: high speed/heavy weight (a lot of friction) with poor quality carbon rims = boom 💥
I mean. MTB grade carbon wheels would work. For a gravel bike I guess. Wonder how fast or slow MTB width slick tyres like wtb thickslick or Schwalbe Supermoto are
It may have been just the wheel, but ditch that entire frame, & keep the groupset. Get a better frame & wheelset. Your life & wellbeing are worth far more❤
Some people saying nasty things about him and other people saying that we shouldn't be commenting on him. Here are the facts: carbon wheels have strict weight limits, usually around 120kg for the full system (bike+rider). That's not a lot and I'm not surprised it fractured.
To the ppl saying he doesn't need a carbon bike because it's a small weight saving compared to his weight. When u pedal you move the bike left to right. It's a lot easier to pedal uphill in a lightweight frame because of it even if you are heavy. Imagine rowing a boat with a lead oar vs a wooden one.
I can't read the brand on the bike and I even don't wanna know the brand of the wheels. All I know, it's that a lot of bike firms appeared in the industry last 2 decades selling rebadged cheap stuff from China for making money - especially in the US. In France, we don't have that, all we have is 2 historical infamous wheel brands that were building wheels before carbon era and developped their own processes of carbon wheels fabrication. And plus another one which had been absorbed by one of the American giant of the industry; I think it can tell from itself about the quality of their products. And we also have a bunch of craft wheelbuilders mounting wheels by hand spoke by spoke with fine stuff (even if chinese, especially for the rims I mean), truing and balancing the wheels perfectly, that makes craft wheels more reliable and performant that all stock wheels, as anyone that has tested a set of handcrafted wheels can tell. So, basically, we know what a good wheel is and what a shitty and dangerous wheel is. I think exploding carbon wheels era is behind us, even if the rear C50 Dura-Ace of Wout Van Aert did on the Tranchée d'Arenberg on the 2022 Paris-Roubaix, but it's a special case, if you don't know, riding the Tranchée d'Arenberg is not cycling, it's hell for riders, your bike and your wheels too. Stuff that can survive over there can survive anything. Moreover, speaking rim and wheels resistance, I have a pair of second hand Roval CLX 64, I'm 210 lbs, I hit a car on road in Paris at the rear at appr. 13-14 mph, the car stopped suddenly for a hidden pedestrian crossing, too fast, too close, can't brake enough... Whatever... I hit with frontal shock. Hard enough to jump over the bar, bump and damage the rear of the little white Audi A1 with my left massive thigh and turn the rear window into pieces of nothing with my hands. E=mC(2) Do the maths. 100 kg of man and bike. 20-25 km/h. Damaged car, cyclist intact except light cuttings on hands and aero-fashioned leather gloves, and bike and WHEELS intact. Nothing. ZERO damage. Only bar turned out of axe. Which has been solved in a glimpse. The idea is not to brag for myself as I'm very ashamed of having destroyed a car, but these wheels are kind of very resistant, I can tell. Proofed on the field.
Sitting on the seat when you have a flat sure didn't help... Have fun with your carbon rear rim replacement. Gotta love how happy the guy was about it.
Thats why this kind of folks needs a gravel bike 38c minimum. I am 85kg 5'11" running my tires on maximum tire pressure 75psi and tubeless. 3mos of riding not one hole on my tires yet. Im using CST Pika 700x38c btw.
Amazing you're still smiling, fair play to you taking that like a boss. Also I guess if it had to go, that was probably the best place for it rather than approaching a tight bend at crazy speed.

satpal jat it was the rim. I took many pictures of the damage but not sure how to post them for you to see.
@@robertbean7041 Brand?, Chinese???
yes it was a Chinese no name brand
@@robertbean7041 how long did it last before failing?
Sitting on the seat when you have a flat sure didn't help... Have fun with your carbon rear rim replacement. Gotta love how happy the guy was about it.
Looking good in that lycra costume.😂
I guess I can feel more pain than Robert
I just returned to watch the most exciting biking video on the internet
You will drink the water because mistress says, Severin, and kiss the boots of shiny, shiny leather
That hurts, but the guys reaction is gold!😊
Thats why this kind of folks needs a gravel bike 38c minimum. I am 85kg 5'11" running my tires on maximum tire pressure 75psi and tubeless. 3mos of riding not one hole on my tires yet. Im using CST Pika 700x38c btw.
100 psi is usually max
Amazing you're still smiling, fair play to you taking that like a boss. Also I guess if it had to go, that was probably the best place for it rather than approaching a tight bend at crazy speed.
Lol, I love his personality. Good on him and screw you to all the jerks here making fun of his size. Glad he's out there having fun!
❤🚴♀️💨
the carbon wheel like: man i cannot do this anymore.. you are too heavy.. reduce your stomachs man..
Handled it best he could. Everyone gotta start somewhere. At least he’s not broke and can buy carbons unlike half the people commenting
What a great guy 😂
*bang* „wohoooo”
😂😂
This guy has won as many Tour de France as Lance Armstrong has
Why’s everyone being jerks? This dude seems so awesome and positive.
