Yeah, I was probably a little too leaned over at the time. This happened around 25 miles into the ride. It is possible the tire was defective but I think it was because I slid a little and it abraded the sidewall enough to cause the blowout. It was likely what we call "user error" and I agree about modulation. I do still sometimes get confused by the right-rear and left-front thing. I grew up the reverse way so that stick in my head. It is hard to be 100% sure about the exact cause except I went in hot and hit the rear brake to hard. The brake was a bit skewed but I feel that was caused by the crash and not the cause. I'll post a picture or two soon.
