seeing that no one knows why Sam's wheels failed....I think all BST owners should be congnizant of the need to very meticulously inspect the wheels during or after wheel mounting.
As for the bikes being destroyed......I just saw a new thread on speedzilla, about BST's failing during an accident where there was minimal damage to the bike itself.
funny how those who work with composites are leery of wheels being a correct application for CF.
at least with metal wheels, there's some visible damage that is a precursor to fatigue-related wheel failure.
But, damn, those BST's are sweet.
