Compressing a rim?
How easy is it to squeeze a rim when applying brake pressure, and actually causing to then give a bit of warped feedback when you use them later?
When I was attaching the brake cable on my front brakes, I compressed the brake fairly good to make sure the cable wouldn't slip. After riding a while, I noticed that there is a small spot that seems to be giving some feedback in the caliper as the wheels rotates. I wonder if it will slowly go away as I break in the pads and use the brakes for a while? Just curious if anyone else has done this before, or if this is possible. |
Most likely the spot on the rim that you are referring to is where the extrusion was joined together in order to form a hoop. On the highest quality rims that spot is welded and machined and all-but-invisible. On cheap rims the joint is just pinned and can be very visible. I don't think that you could make an imperfection like that happen by squeezing a handbrake.

just curious, as they are machined, and I cannot visibly see any deformation while it is rotating, so it is extremely small.
