Now with a little backstory, this wheel was from off ebay a few months ago and riding it when I swayed the bike left and right or did aggressive riding it does creak (sounds like wood bending) Now Im not sure if there is pre existing damage in the hub. Also don't be mistaken those are not cracks all over the wheel it is the "composite" so not a carbon fiber weave look and that part of most the wheel is fine. I say "most" because that evening me and my Oktoberfest bud collided on a turn and I took the hit. It might have a small crack I see as Ive thoroughly inspected it with a flashlight. It does not flex around this part but it feels rough. Pics to come when I feel up to it, my injury needs examined but the bike comes first!
