Have wheels lightened to the point where their structure cannot compensate for public roads?
I know that every year manufacturers make the bikes lighter - do they shave weight off the wheels?
I remember Robert Dunlop's TT crash where the back wheel shattered; would hate to think this could become commonplace.
Then again, possibly just a one in a billion chance.
Glad to hear rider wasnt pitched off. Replacement wheel wont be cheap and I doubt he'd trust one second hand from a breaker's yard
