Lots of ways. Could just be a manufacturing defect, maybe got overstressed when you hit a pothole, overinflation, weather deterioration if it's a cotton casing, etc. I used to see this a lot with really cheap training tubulars.

The Mrs. decided she wanted to ride to work today, she asked if I could go with her since it was her first time riding to work. 9ish miles one way, mixed trail and streets. Her chain fell off at least 3 times, and then I had the unfortunate pleasure of watching her come to a stop during an uphill because of the chain falling off and just toppling over onto the sidewalk. A bruised elbow and a purple butt cheek later she said that biking isn't for her.
I have failed.

I've been slowing chipping away at my better half to ride more. Just started riding to work on her own and enjoys it. Here's to hoping she has enough good experiences to get addicted.
On another note. That MerckX is so rad.

I just got back from 3.5 days in Lahaina, Maui. Amazing. Every morning, we drove north (onto the rainy side) and hiked a bunch through misty forest or explored treacherous rocky coastline. In the evenings, we would cruise back to Lahaina and do beach stuff: snorkeling, swimming, eating and drinking beers.
My gf has a sister that lives there so we had accommodations and local pro-tips. If I brought (or rented) a bike, I could spend 1-2 weeks there no problem. Haleakala is a bucket list ride for sure.

HB Mr. Zilla.
Today I bought new bottles. Went on the Wednesday group ride. Failed to clip in at the start of a king of the hill with a beer on the line. Bout died. Ate free pizza the brewery bought when we got back. Solid day.
