Si-man Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 Did it split all the way round or just in that section on view?Thats one of the weirdest ways to split a rim ive seen lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trials Punk Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 Do they even come with eyelets!!!!!?????I would have thought that you were running the spokes a wee bit tight in places, tyre preasure may not have helped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 Does this mean that the rim is actually broken into two strips.Thats one for the album! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anodised Adamant Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 really they should put alloy nipple sleeves in those spoke holes because we have this problem with road/racing bikes at work and if you pay a few quid more you get the rims with the alloy sleeves (not to sure about trials though)Carl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
