That's what everyone seems to be talking about, but it's not immediately apparent how the shape of the rim has caused every single spoke to break.
Yeah, I know it's probably a case of "for the want of a nail the shoe was lost" and the rims are implicated in the unshipping of the tyre, and the bare rim on cobbles is probably what did for the spokes. But really, it's the failure of
all the spokes that really catches the eye.
