winterwheel Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 (edited) It looks to me like the wheel hit a bump right in the shadow area, which initiated the wheel instability. It may be that he didn't realize there was a bump there because it was in the shadow. It further looks to me like footwear was part of the issue; with proper shoes it is possible he might have been able to hang on to it.

Extremely clear that it's a wobble induced fall. Scary. This is essentially what happened to @Rehab1 during his injurious crash, although perhaps without the arm waving Edited October 10, 2018 by Marty Backe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterwheel Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 (edited) <video deleted> For what it is worth, here is a zoom in of the wheel as it passes through the shadow. It looks very much to me like it comes off or nearly off the ground and the tire deforms as the weight comes back down. This seems like it would be a perfectly normal reason to crash - hitting an unexpected deformity in the pavement at high speed and losing control.

He said the wheel cut out for a split second causing him to lose control and that he didn’t get the wobbles, but from looking at the footage he clearly did. He thinks that he doesn’t get the wobbles because he has 3 years of experience. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me the video evidence helps me to know what really happened, thanks for having gotten on that so quickly. If you could delete the link from your post then that would be all the references to it.

It could be, with the passage of time, that he might change his mind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just that not everyone has the tools to do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having seen your video, and broken it down even further for myself to see exactly how the wobbles started, I am greatly relieved to know the real story, but sorry that the video evidence cannot be shared for others to see.

Popular Post winterwheel Posted October 9, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 9, 2018 (edited) On a happier note, here is me checking out the ACM2 in the ice conditions this morning to be sure it is good to go for tomorrow's commute. Studs are awesome, everyone absolutely should use them in the winter, but so far at least I have been able to get by without them.

Awesome, haven't done much snow riding, but I can't imagine it'd be super pleasant. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remind me in what part of the World you are located so I can avoid it forever. Actually this my second ice video this year, we had a freak bit of weather back in the middle of September. Hopefully this second blast will all melt away in a few days also. These little pre-winter episodes are quite helpful for my cold weather prep so I don't mind too much. I was considering whether the ACM2 would be the right wheel for the winter, and now I know that it is good to go. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the ambiance of this video The crunchy sounds, the silence, etc. Reminds me of my childhood in Chicago, in a good way.

This is something I can't do as easy when riding solo and not using a view of the wheel. I were looking at going to Cph next weekend (Saturday) maybe visit Tivoli and their Halloween theme. This seems to be one of those tag boxed I have missed all summer. My Cph visit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
