Look at the edge of the rim. I haven't had the tire off yet and if I did I wouldn't bugger up the rim like that. It looks to me like someone has been installing tires with a screwdriver. Did Bikes Direct send me a returned wheel? Or do they install tires with screwdrivers at the Bikes Direct warehouse?

What do you think, would I be being picky and unreasonable to make an issue about it?
