Lightweight standard cracks?
Moderator: robbosmans
Broke my meilenstein rear. Which has been getting repaired for ages ( over 12 months) So thought i would snap up a loos3 lightweight standard clincher for 1000 australian. It turned up today with a chip out of the brake track but more concerningly a crack above that on the lip of the clincher hook. It is raised slightly. Return? Ride? Repair?

It looks like the layers are delaminating. I would not ride it especially on a clincher with all the sidewall pressure.

Thanks kevosinn, i respect your opinion. I thought that might be what is going on. The brake track looks like it has had a hard life.

Yeah I have contacted him and am getting refunded. The lightweight has been repaired and returned but wasn't straight and was sent back and is now on its way back from repair again. But I saw this for sale and figured if the repaired wheel isn't straight again then at least i have a backup. Frustrating situation. Makes a full retail wheel seem cheap.
