Indent on rim weld for DT Swiss
A guy I sent a set of DT Swiss wheels (won on ebay) discovered an indent near the weld on the inner part of a rim, but on both sides. I thought it must have been caused by shipping, but doubt that the box was crushed. Has anyone seen anything like this with rims? I never saw it before I sent them and gave them a full once over.

There's often a little discontinuity in the weld region - it is hard to get that seam perfectly flush with the adjoining metal surfaces. That is where Mavic put their labels ....
