broken rim (Read 873 times)

johnnybent Five Star Member rbent member Posts: 1032	broken rim Oct 21^st, 2010, 9:17pm I was getting ready for the thursday night ride when I noticed my rear rim rubbing on the brake pad. I thought I had a loose spoke but found a spoke nipple had broken completely though the rim . Took it into Plano and hopping rans does warranty on it.
