I'll go ahead and ride with it and see if it holds up, but I don't have much hope for it.
Did you read my post? You need to dismount the tire and tube and remove the rim tape and look at the inside eyelet BEFORE you ride off on a glorious ride that could turn ugly, if the spoke breaks it could taco the rim causing you to crash...nice way to test ride to see if it holds up. And I even offered suggestions on how to fix it if the inside rivet is shot. If the rivet inside is fine then it's good to ride, if not then one of the fixes I mentioned could make the rim good to ride.
