Was cleaning my bike and found 2 cracks on my rear hub
The wheelset is a HED Ardennes GP 2012. I took to a wheelbuilder to inspect and he said that the tension on the spokes on the drive side was HUGE, how could this have happened? I've never crashed this weel or banged on a huge pothole or something :/
Should I contact HED about it?

Very unusual with crossed spokes. Must have been crazy high tensions. Just crappy wheelbuilding.
