Today's event was specific and CRAP!!!
I knew better that to go by way of NJ but I did it anyway.
Now, thanks to a pothole on I-287 I need a new front wheel.

Dang, that sucks.
I've never hit one so hard as to ruin a wheel. That must have been huge. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

Tom.
I don't know about NJ, but in Virginia, if the pothole is in the wheel track, you can file a claim with the state for reimbursement. On the shoulder they won't pay, but if it's in the normal wheel path it's worth a try.

Dang that sucks Tom. I feel your pain. That happened to me a couple years back when Dave, Marc and I were coming out to see you. Hit a pot hole so big it bent my rim causing a slow leak in the tire. To make it worse my phone flew flew off the mount. That trip cost me a rim and an iphone

Bent the lip in a different spot doing about 55mph over a year ago and they were able to straighten it. This time the wheel is toast. It's a cast aluminum, 5 spoke wheel and this time was doing about 72mph and hit the ridge of the pothole right under one of the spokes. It not only bent the lip and side but cracked the surface along one side of the spoke.

glad you are OK, Tom. Back in college I hit a pothole at night on my ***** 160, gave the rim a flat spot and the spoke came out of the rear tire taking a chunk of the hub with it. Pot holes should be illegal.
