Thank you brother. I will be sure to keep you posted on what I learn.
Hopefully there will be a happy outcome as this wheelset is still pretty new. Even if Fulcrum doesn't support any sort of repair, since the rim seam doesn't appear to be separating...but joint is developing a slight mismatch on the inside, this could likely be knocked down and wrapped with a fresh strip of rim tape and presume it could be repaired this way. Ideally, I would prefer of course Fulcrum to replace it...but not sure if they will.

To add a bit of further clarity. The seam mismatch inside the rim is like the peak of a finely sloped gabled roof...the peak of this gable is catching on the tube. A dremmel could knock this mismatch down of course degrading the rim strip over it...which seems to be built into the rim??..not a standard rim strip that Fulcrum uses. Will try to get a pic up when I get it back apart, tho may not be easy to capture in a picture.
