Fresh wheelset for my single speed and i noticed this out of the box. Should i be worried or is it fine?
That’s an easy fix, you can pay someone or do it yourself. Just search “rimjob” and you will find videos
I know a guy. Just ask rimjob_steve.
Yeah, but is really hard to do it yourself. Make sure you get someone to help you.
I handle all my own rimjobs. It was difficult at first, but learning to be flexible when these problems arise is ultimately a very satisfying endeavor.
LOL
Worried. Very worried. Return ASAP. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200.
Something is wrong. The shim is not holding correctly. I think the spokes might be over tensioned, but I would try and replace it.
I am a former Buyer for a bike shop chain. I’ve handled thousands of bikes. This is not normal.
I vote for “worried”
That, to me, screams out of round. I’d be worried.
I would not ride on this.
If it’s brand new, just return it
It looks kinda broken to me but I’m not an expert on rims.
Perhaps a rim amateur?
