Still alive. Only one ride though, I didn't die. Resin repair over the hole, new rim strip, patched the tire.

Why all the needless photos you ask? Just to show the terrain. I rarely ride with people so since today was with a friend, I didn't take it easy on this wheel at all. 50 miles, 5k, some rough pavement, gravel, and a descent I wouldn't even drive down. For future Google searches, they'll at least know I made it that far before the wheel exploded.
