    Just got some spank stiffys

    having a look at them, one of the two pop rivets sits a bit proud

    I know its covered by rim tape anyway, but will I be able to flatten it out a little if I’m careful?

    Can’t be bothered sending them back for that

    one of the two pop rivets

    you sure they’re not the ends of the spokes/nipples?

    no, they have 2 rivets near the join in the rim

    no spokes on them……yet 😉

    ah, I’d be careful with rivets – the last thing you want to do is give them any opportunity to ‘open up’ by bashing at them…

    might just put a bit of something around it then to make sure there is nothing sharp poking into my tubes
