Rolled Tubulars at CX races.






This tire rolled at Northbrook IL cyclocross race last year. You can see it came off half of the rim. You can also see my hand trying to get it back on, I clearly recall thinking "Why did this guy not glue this thing on?" He walked back to the pits.




Speaking of no glue.





USGP 2011 day 1, a rider from a Wisconsin shop was warming up before the elite men's race when he rolled both tires at the same time. Note the lack of glue on the rims.


I have always wondered what would happen if you rolled a tubular at the valve area, well now we know.



I call this "the slow jog of shame"
