I'd send these photos to Boyd and ask for their opinion.

I would say you are good, however visiting a carbon workshop and fill it with resign may prevent it from getting worse.

Look for a place were they use with carbon boats or other carbon parts near you. Just need to be filled.

Just showed a picture to company next-door (they specialize in carbon youghts). They say, should be a 15minute job, Fill it and after that it needs to go in an oven, about 50 degree should be fine ad give it 2 days to harden out. (so you don't have to disassamble the wheel).

Goog luck, but in the meantime, just ride them.

Hey thanks a lot man much appreciated. Yeah ill try to find a place that can fill it in, i have already ridden them like this and no problem but I do think a fill will help the wheel not get worse later on.
