Not true I believe. I watched the TV special that was showed in New Zealand and John stated clearly that if it was caused by any part of his bike he would have immediately stopped!

The crash was caused by a rider mistake as he was trying to hang with a faster class bike. Sad yes but it is important that the rumour that the wheel failed is halted.
