Rear tyre
Dunno why :roll:
Looks like I'm going to have to shell out for a new tyre and tube...
I've done 855 miles on the stock tyres though (Continental Ultra Sports.)
Bummer

Its the G-forces due to the rotational speed, you've probably exceeded 50g, plus the traction forces from the power of your awesome quads.......
WTB Slickasaurus, bought use, done 1200miles - plenty of life left!

I've changed the tyre and tube tonight, so all is well again. The tube was fine, it was the tyre which was damaged (again, who knows why,) so that has been binned!0

Weak tyre wall...are you riding at high psi? I was ok at 90-100 for ages then thought that 120 was a good idea :roll: . Until the side wall split. Now have reverted to sensible commuting pressures. Oh and a new set of tyres.Ecrasez l’infame0
