Consecutive bicycle work commuter number 2334:

Blew another hole in a "bombproof" rim on my road bike. I had the same thing happen roughly a year ago and the rim was replaced under warranty. Somehow I doubt they're going to cover it a second time, as the first warranty claim was 18 months in on my original purchase date.

Oddly enough, for the moment the rim is still holding true. Hopefully it will remain so for the ride home.

I ordered a more robust replacement rear wheel from a different manufacturer, which will hopefully stop this from happening. Unfortunately the ship date is estimated to be a month out, so I'm probably not going to be riding my road bike in the near future.
