I noticed after a long weekend of wisconsin hills the same rim delam has gone to a consistent line along the brake track. I don't have the wheels on at this point and won't ride them again on the road. My question is and not knowing the real answer myself is Can I likely get away with riding the wheel on gravel or flat trail where there is minimal braking? What would be the actual failure with a delaminated brake track? I am ordering up a new set of campy shamals and have enough wheels around to use, but hate the idea of tossing an expensive wheel when I used it for a year already. thanks in advance.
