Just pushed my bike out of the shed to get the mower out, and i noticed a teeny weeny little ding in the rear rim.. (The rim is a Mavic EX729)

Check it out!

can you see the little stress crack?



and the eggyness?


Pretty pleased about that for some reason! Tongue

sounds like an excuse to get some shiny new PINK (not red - pink) rims like Brownbacks Grin

I wouldn't be too concerned about that rim, 729s will run fine with bigger dings than that in ( I believe the last one I changed had 12 dings and a 2 inch crack you could see daylight through)

That's called Mud.. Mud from a recent bala uplift Smiley.

and tbh, i'm just going to leave the ding in. It's got a handful of small ones all round the rim, this one was just a lot larger.
