Carbon wheels overheated the latex tube and exploded the tube and then broke the wheel.

wow that is crazy. sorry to hear that.... guess they overheat much faster than road wheels as they are so much smaller. hope you are ok

Crikey.
Was it the sudden deflation that broke the wheel or the impact of the road/weight of your front fork, on a tubeless tyre?CliveO has already discussed the tubilotos here, and I had a little wobble where I had a puncture in my front tyre last week. The behaviour of the front tyre with a deflated latex tube is probably dangerous, unlike a rubber tube; the loss of handling, to me, is more pronounced.

Good grief. Hope you're ok.

Is tubolito latex? Thought it's plastic no?
