Catastrophic failure: help identify cause
I was riding my CX bike to work this morning, riding it along the packed-dirt trail that parallels the asphalt MUP.

As I'm riding I hear a "thud thud thud thud thud thud BOOM" with the boom being my rear tire going flat.

here's what the tube looks like:


Any idea what could have caused this?

Tires are 700x35 Maxxis Locusts. Wheels are Soul S4.0. Tubes are Bontrager 700x35-44c
