I finally took the front wheel off my bike as it needed truing from the crash 5 weeks ago. I’m still a long ways from being able to ride but the bike needs some maintenance.

I was really surprised to see the sidewall completely shredded. In fact the sidewall was torn all the way through the tire. I knew I hit the asphalt hard as evidenced by my broken hip but I was surprised to see that much damage. I thought I’d hit and bounced but obviously I slid more that I thought. No wonder I had a good bit of road rash.

There is also some scuffing at the top of the brake tracks but I don’t think it will affect overall performance. I didn’t see any cracks in the carbon rim but I guess time will tell if there are any structural issues.
