So, my wheel on my commuter felt a bit loose for a day or so. On my route I bob up the odd curb but nothing too gnarly. Then on Friday morning I noticed this!
There is a crack in the rim which goes most of the way around the wheel. Not good. I am thinking I'll replace the front wheel too as they were bought as a pair.
Theres more to worry about than a split...
When you say "felt a bit loose" i'm guessing there were some spokes loose meaning there was not enough tension in the wheel so yes banging it into curbs would do that.
Nah that's fine mate, carry on.
I checked the spokes at the time when it felt loose and they seemed OK.
I tightened the QR up to 11 thinking that was the problem.
I'm guessing now that the rim was slowly letting go, between the spoke holes, one at a time.
Thank goodness you know how to post pics! I was a little concerned for you.
Are you sure it's not just a sticker?

That wheel looks like it cased a jump.
seems totally normal to me, carry on riding
If you go fast, it'll straighten out, carry on soldier.
Gorilla Tape will fix that right up!
