Ladd Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 Mine did that ! ran fine though still on my mates bike, it did get smaller when i tightend the spokes either side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpson Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 Probably.... are you special? Either it is broken or it isn't... its 6 months old which is a good time for a rim to last and if it still spins then its all gravy... can you fit anything in between it? rims gernally seem to go on a join.

Captain Scarlet Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 Try and file away some of the metal on that area, if the "crack" disapears then your problem is solved. If its still there, its either the join or a crack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Duck Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 hi guy's, Thank's Guy's pic's: Nice use of apostrophes Don't worry about the rim, if it gets worse, as in a 2-3mm gap - replace it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Anscombe Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 rims do tend to spread appart on the join...but thears two 7cm rods that travvel either side of the rim join ......so that wee thing is fine.....tighten the spokes up a sniff and it will pull together. my try all rims do that alot so i just tighten the spokes a sniff -job done Dave x your rim is fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 That's just the join. Tighten the two spokes either side of the join and it will pull together (and stop bashing so much in future ) Edit: Oops, too slow... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun H Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 Why won't the trials world give us a pinned AND WELDED riiiiiiimmmmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psycholist Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 (edited) It's well known the world is controlled by an anonymous syndicate of freemasons, illuminati and the followers of the invisible flying spaghetti monster. What's less well known is that an obscure prophesy by Nostradamus in 1556, the quatrains of which were deemed too dangerous to be published officially even then, passed through history to us by a secret sect of blind, deaf, mute, quadraplegic, Zorostrian astronomers, predicts the downfall of this syndicate as the rulers of the world, unlocking long suppressed secrets held by the syndicate and used by it enslave the world including cold fusion, immortality, faster than light space travel and how the figs are got into the fig rolls, as a direct result of the appearance of pinned, welded, machined, trials specific rims. How this will occur can be illustrated logically in the following steps: 1. Welded rims appear for trials bikes 2. Something happens.... 3. The secret rulers of the world are destroyed So it's pretty easy to see why they're keeping a lid on it and of course why no trials specific rim of this type is available. It wasn't such a big deal for the first last few centuries after the prophecy was made where, in the learned halls of many universities it would be discussed at length as follows: Learned Academic 1: 'What is trials?'* Learned Academic 2: 'I don't know - What's a bike?' Learned Academic 1: 'Well that's settled then - Let's get some lunch...' Attempts to control society by suppressing this prophecy have been very successful until now. They even control the internet enough to prevent this information getting into general circulation - but they can't hold out forever - 'Eppur si muove'... *Translated from Latin, so it would have actually been 'Hat way 's iay rials tay?'...
