andrey-p Posted July 9, 2018 Report Share Posted July 9, 2018 Hi, I noticed this cracks in all inner holes on my Spank rim on rear wheel. Does anyone have any idea why this happened? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted July 9, 2018 Report Share Posted July 9, 2018 Nasty. Have you spoken to Spank about it at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Yes, I emailed this pic to Spank. I riding on this rim about 12 months. But I used mail forwarding service for shipping from Webcyclery to my country, so I can't use warranty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEON Posted July 9, 2018 Report Share Posted July 9, 2018 (edited) Ah, you accidentally bought the Race 33 instead of the Spike 35 or the Stiffy. Edited July 9, 2018 by LEON 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted July 9, 2018 Report Share Posted July 9, 2018 There was the Spank Spike Race 33 which is the latest version of the Spikes. Weird it's cracked the inner wall like that either way - be interesting to see what Spank say! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trialsalot Posted July 9, 2018 Report Share Posted July 9, 2018 Thats bizarre. Hope you get sorted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al_Fel Posted July 10, 2018 Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 I can't help but notice that it looks like the holes on the inner wall are the same size as the outer wall? It also looks to me like the nipples have been on the outer wall? Am I seeing things that aren't there? If you had a wheel built up with the spoke nipples resting on the outer wall I'd expect to see cracks like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is the others reduce down for the spokes. Seriously odd goings on though! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted July 10, 2018 Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 Spacing compared to the spoke hole in the background suggests valve hole too 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrey-p Posted July 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 Wheel was built in a workshop with a good reputation and I had no problems with it. But couple months ago spokes start loose tension to fast. I was thinking this is nipples problem and order new sapim polyax. Yesterday I got new nipples and see this when taken off rim tape.
