CalRobbo341 Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 Just inspecting my bike ect and came across what looks like something bad. So there is some marks from when I took the paint off of the rim, but it looks a bit concaved at the joint? Can someone clarify if it is okay to run with it like so, I have pumped my tube up a little more than usual, in theory it makes more sense, to kind of protect in a way. Some pictures - Thanks!

Revolver Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 What's the rim? Some rims are just pinned together, some rims are pinned badly. If it's not really obviously flat in that spot it should be ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Endohopper Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 Seems O.K , how's spoke tension ? If they're really loose that would exacerbate what is otherwise an acceptable intolerance at the seam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalRobbo341 Posted August 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 When yo squeeze them together where 2 spokes meet the is a small amounnt of slack, but isn't it normal to have a bit> *? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss-Higgy Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 To be fair, i looked at my pink rims when i got them and the line is about the same, just the paint being taken of has exaggerated the line? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
