Sorry that I’ve not responded to questions about my accident. I appreciate everyone’s thoughts and feedback.
In initially checking with Giant regarding the setup on their tubeless ready wheels, they recommended 70-80 psi for the 25 mm tires @ my weight, which is 185 lbs.
The time & day of the accident, it was a sunny afternoon about 45 mins before sunset & the temperature was 47 degrees.
BTW, the tire is still holding air as of 11 days post accident.
Going forward, I’m taking the tubeless tires off, putting on Continental 4000s and tubes.
As a side note, I had a new Bontrager Web Cell helmet. It advertises as a 48x (times not %) less likelihood of concussions vs typical foam helmet. I notified them of the accident t and as part of their Accident Replacement Guarantee has one delivered to my house yesterday. I am sending the damaged helmet along with a description of the accident and injury. My “morning after” facial photo would be the mother of all mugshots!
