A Specialized Tarmac with Mavic Cosmic Pro Carbon UST wheels travels down a famous descent in the New York area, Bear Mountain. A combination of heat and impact causes both carbon wheels to break, with the front wheel shattering into pieces. The Specialzied Tarmac goes down and so does the rider. We're calling him 'John' for the purposes of this piece. Thankfully he not only survives but he walks away! This video today is a reminder to us all about the dangers of carbon rims and even more so, carbon rims with rim brakes. Raoul Luescher gives us a great overview of what most likely happened and the ways we can mitigate accidents like this happening.
