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.
