Picture 1 is damage to the rim/brake track. I’m not sure exactly how it happened, but judging by the damage to the tire, I assume it must have been a few rocks that I hit at just the wrong angle? It’s definitely not pinch damage because I’ve been running this tire very hard. Do you guys think it’s cause for a new rim, or at least a professional inspection? If this really happened because of some rocks, then maybe 25mm tires on these rims really isn’t practical.

Picture 2 is a random cosmetic defect that I just noticed. Part of me thinks it might be sealant that seeped into the paint? But I had sealant all over the rim and that’s the only spot where anything happened. It also looks too... uniform.
