As per title, I managed to blow a tire out of my wheel in a high speed descent and I'm not so sure how this had happened, but could have ended very very badly.
For context wheels are some rim braked carbon Rovals, brake track a bit worn out. Ridenow TPU tubes and Turbo Cotton tires, again, a bit thin. Was going down a long, twisty descent, temperature was pretty high (I'm in Spain) . I'm a confident descender, I've gone down that mountain, and worse, before and never cooked a rim.
If someone have a decent explanation other than delamination I'm all ears
