You might have been the one to crack the rim.. over-pressurizing from your previous posts.
I bought the wheels sight unseen in an eBay auction.
I inspected rim and totally did not notice the crack.
No, there is no way that this rim was overpressurized by be since I never managed to get any tubeless tire to mount on it. Any excess of air from my Airshot canister quickly blew out the the 2 weep holes. Same result with my air compressor. No way I could have overpressurized it. This was a pre-existing crack from the previous owner. Unfortunately the eBay seller was "piermont bike". They have a selling format of auctions that start at $0.99 with no reserve, so auctions from can end with fairly low selling prices.
