Petras Posted November 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2019 (edited) After two years Im back. This time I was changing my spoke niple and noticed that my spank rims are broken. Same crack in every hole. Anyone had this? Cant believe. Had cheap trialtech rims for 6 years and nothing. These didnt last even 2 years (I was riding properly maybe 1 year max). Assembed in shop.

Mark W Posted November 25, 2019 Report Share Posted November 25, 2019 I've got some old Spank Spike rims (not the Race 33) that cracked like that well over a year ago and are still working fine. Is yours doing anything untoward to make you notice they were cracked, or was it just something you happened to find? Assuming it's something you spotted just because you happened to look under your rim tape, I'd just keep using it as it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I removed rimtape to look for a nipple because it was somewhere inside and i spotted those cracks. Hmm if you say so I will keep using it. Thanks :).

Mark W Posted November 26, 2019 Report Share Posted November 26, 2019 That's what I meant really - if you didn't have any reason to suspect it was cracked until you took the rim tape off, it suggest it's not impacting performance so it should be fine to keep using realistically. The inner wall is just there to provide a bit more stiffness/rigidity, so I can't imagine how you'd ever have your rim fail catastrophically from it being cracked there. Because of that you don't need to have any worries about going for a move and suddenly having your rear wheel explode due to those cracks, if that makes sense. Both my Spike rims and my Stiffy rims developed cracks around the spokes holes on the outer wall of the rim, and even with them they've just kept going. It's not ideal, but it doesn't seem to be causing any problems so I'm not planning on replacing them until they 'properly' break. Even then that's only likely to manifest itself in a spoke pulling through the rim. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross McArthur Posted November 26, 2019 Report Share Posted November 26, 2019 Takes advice, does small drop, rim explodes, dies. Damn you Westlaaaaake! Anyone know if Spank accept feedback on their products? Might be worth giving them a shout and showing them your picture? Product advancement and all that jazz.

John Shrewsbury Posted November 26, 2019 Report Share Posted November 26, 2019 My 26 spank rims are doing the same, noticed other week when I built up a new hub. Shame it’s happening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
