Actually come to think of it, just start over
I'm not sure, but I think that I went airborne and then landed on the front wheel at a less than optimal trajectory, so the crash probably caused it. I'm going to check the rest of the glue job on the tire and go from there.

I see on one hand, that if the glue job was spotty and caused it to fail, then the whole glue job would be crappy. OTOH, if the crash caused it, then the glue job on the other 80% of the wheel is just fine.

You all are probably right, just to rip it off and reglue. That would be the smart play. I'll let you know which way I go.
