out for a ride ......made it about 8 miles and noticed a thumping or some thing strange under me.
I stopped and couldnt sort it out. I decided to turn around and head back. It thumped all the way home. Upon closer inspection the entire rim cracked in half :)
I remember hitting a pot hole but didnt think it was that hard. Wholey crap...they have been great riims too. Not a single issue....now i need a new back rim. THere is a flat spot and right where the flat spot is you can see a stress fracture in the aluminum and the spoke right in front of that area is super loose.
BOOOOOO!!!!!!!
