Wow! There is ALOT of info still not told I think. Firstly since bike has only ever been on the track you can bet that they are 'racing' wheels not 'street' wheels which are thinner and lighter than the road version. Secondly it's not stated when the last set of rubber was put on this rim. Since they say the tyre 'looks new' I'm assuming it was fresh. They tested the tyre and valve for leakage, but what's to say that the rim wasn't cracked putting that last fresh rubber on with a slow leak that caused the let go? It could be a number of factors befor stock structural fault.
Never the less, this will still be in the back of my mind when I'm doin 285+ down phillip island straight on may ninth on my BST's. Very rare indeed though. Bloody good find Bikerboy, thanks for posting.
