So first ride with my new Aeroad CF SLX 8 with the Zipp 404 was going great but after roughly 20km i hear this sound and suddenly i find myself flying off the bike to the asphalt as my bike goes down.
My whole kit is ruined, both hoods covers are messed up, both rims are scratched up, saddle got scuffed and my whole left side is badly burned. I guess it will get aching soon 😢
Been using tubeless for around 5 years and i have never had that happen before. The tire side wall broke but seems to be still hooked.
This is my first hookless rim, is this related? Or is it just a bad tire or a stone damage?

I’m not sure what could’ve caused it but godspeed with the (mental) recovery. Looks like a driveside fall so at least thats something?
Glad you are (mostly) okay!
Sidewall gash. Looks like shit luck to me and nothing to do with the tires/rim
I put tubes in my hookless tubeless tires because this exact same thing happened. Not sure if tubes are a real solution or not but seemed better than doing nothing
You didn’t go above 72psi by any chance?
We don’t know?! God damn, what’s with that question mark
