Thats not surprising. I wonder how long those oz and cf wheels last with multiple tire changes and all the abuse they go through.

Can you imagine? When I first saw it I thought someone just fucked up and didn't torque the castle nut, or missed the pin. Then, saw the pictures.

But then I realized that there's probably nothing they could have done short of replacing the full assembly ahead of time (hindsight = 20/20 etc etc)

I figured it was some sort of failure, when I first saw it it was just the wheel, and no spokes or hub in the middle rolling down the track.
