Rode 4 hours on new years day. Bad Muddy and small block 8 on the front = wrecked a few times but I rode hard so no funny jokes lol.

So, I just got in from a night ride and pow! Front wheel, nipple pulled from the rim, threads and all. New StanZTR 355's

I do NOT want to send them back. Could this be fixed?

:mad:

thanks for the help.

The whole nipple came out? OR the spokes came out of the nipple? If the nipple came out sounds like the rim is trashed, manufacturing defect I would assume.
