What happened? tube blew the rim? It surely is metal. Not saying it is supposed to be a fatastic rim but it is a Mavic Open Pro, so it is "serious" stuff. Anyway, will take the whole thing to my LBS who'll build me a new wheel with a new rim and my hub and cassette, hope my tyre is ok... |

What happened? tube blew the rim? No, it is the rim, the top of it. You can see the start of the tear on the right (2nd picture), under the 3rd "n" of "Continental", and you can see the shiny strip of torn away metal. |

Evaluate hill gradient Actually I do use ridewithgps and record all my rides on it. I just have serious doubts on the figures it gives. My best example is a 1 km long piece of my daily commute, it is a slight slope, when going down I always reach ~45 kmh (to give you a slight idea of how steep it is). ridewithgps shows -2% and when going the other way (commuting home) shows 4% at the same place! Another example, ridewithgps tells me that this is 3%: goo.gl/maps/zlngU |
