Rip mountain bike wheel.

Not having a good run of luck at the moment. Took wheel off to fix a puncture from last ride, puncture was on the underside which is odd, so took the rim tape off and apparently my rear wheel is a disaster waiting to happen. At some point it's taken some damage and just gotten worse over time, with the rim tape hiding it, so I didn't notice it. Inner part of the rim is cracked near enough all the way around, completely fucked.

Rims have had a hard life & are at least 6 years old & did have a slight ding on the outside, but normally wouldn't cause such an issue, so might just be fatigue, but still just a disaster waiting to happen. Glad it did not go while riding, would not have been fun :cry:.

"would not have been fun"

No but a cartoon/silent film thing where it all just falls apart would have been funny.

Whoa, that's pretty serious--you're having a string of bad luck with things breaking.
Who the hell did you piss off?
 
I never seen this before. I use to ride bmx bikes and break parts badly.
 
First time I've seen a crack inside like that as well. Can find a few others cracked similar from a quick search, so seems like if that wheel fails (mavic xm719), it seems to be like that. Front is ok, and were bought as a pair, so think it must have a taken a whack off road and gradually worsened.
 
wow! You're lucky nothing happened while you where riding. That's bad but heck, nothing that can't be replaced.

    No it's revenue and demand south park could argue has a bigger audience than family guy about the same
    +1
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Family guy is worth 300mill south parks worth 1Bill according to the interwebs
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @K3Nv2, probably cuz family guy is more disliked compared to south park
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It just does the same formula south park can press buttons without going overboard
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    And bc most of the family guy budget is spent on the voice actors rather than on the animation
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Southpark could spend 30k on a animated dick and people would laugh at it
