>>1977959Calling for a ride was the correct choice, there's no way I would have fixed that on the road. The tube was wrapped around the cassette 3 times on the gears and another 2 times behind the cassette stretched very tightly. I needed to remove the cassette to get the stretched tube out. The tube behind the cassette was pressing against the cassette enough the lockring didn't want to come off and the freehub couldn't spin. I had to unwind some of the tube behind the cassette to take some of the pressure off.
I'm guessing the blown out section was the initial flat. Then somehow the tube got snapped in half near the valve. I wonder if I had the tube pinched when I put it in the tire. The tire I'm using now is smaller than the one I had been using. Its been 200 km since I put that tire on, I figure a pinch would have flatted on the first ride if that was it.
