Hello All,

I have about a 20 mi commute each day, I don't do jumps or rough riding. I have a bontrager select rim. I recently had the rear wheel trued 2 weeks back. I was riding my bike on my commute and I noticed a strange sound, it was my rim rubbing up against the brake pad. I had to wait till I got back home so I can inspect it further. This is what I saw:



I have no idea as to how this could of happened because all I do is normal riding. I had this rim for about 4 months. Could the mechanic tightened too much while truing the wheel? I'm open to any suggestions or comments. Because I don't really know what to think. Is it repairable? Will I have to get a new one?

Thanks
