I've had my share of punctures but tonight on my way home I had my first proper explosive BANG blowout on my front wheel. There was a flash and what appeared to be a flame and everything!
Initial inspection seems that the tyre itself is fine, but I'm going to have a proper look now. Anything I should be looking out for?
Fortunately it happened just as I was slowing for a crossing on a cycle path. Bit nervous about getting back on the bike now for it to happen going 30+ downhill! Want to make sure that whatever I do, it's definitely safe to ride.
Cheers!
