My wife and I are presently riding cross country. Today while riding behind my wife I thought I heard a spoke getting loose so we stopped for a break and I pulled out my tool kit. I looked at the rear rim and notice that it is flaring out on both sides at the valve!
Both bikes had new wheels built last Fall. The rims are Velocity AeroHeat 26" and I am using Schwalbe Marathon Supreme tires 2" x26".
My rear rim failed @ 1500 miles in PA hers is failing @ 3400 miles.
Fortunately we are only about 100 miles from Bismarck, North Dakota so I can get a replacement.
So anyone had this kind of problem?
Thanks!
