Is this rim toast ? It’s the crack around the nipple of the spoke

Title of this thread is open to interpretation on this forum. ?

On a more serious note in my unofficial opinion yes looks to be cracked I had the same issue with my road wheels Cosmic Elites and again with Bontrager race wheels.

Maybe you have some warranty claim. Good luck.

If you never cleaned your bike, it would have been a non-issue.

Is that the rim seam to the left? I say rim is toast.

Your rim has COVID-19. Quarantine it and the bike. Buy new bike. Be sure they both maintain an appropriate distance of >10 feet.

I may have a replacement for you if you can't get it warrantied and you are interested. My friend had his Novatec hub blow up, and just replaced the whole wheel so his rim would be fine. Let me check when I get home.

Yes interested. I bought these off Facebook, they came off a new SC so I have no warranty and they are discontinued.
