Busted rim?

you sould be able to get a new one free.....those style rims were
re-called....

that groove isnt unicycle friendly as you now know....unfortunatly your
going to have to transfer the new rim over yourself or pay to have it
done...its not hard to do though and the spokes are perfectly re-usable
when done the right way.

Wow! i never knew that! ok, next question, Who do i contact because
there is no indication of who made the rim anywhere on it. The uni is a
mission but i dont think the rim is made by them. Wheel building is a
piece of [censored], so il have no problems with lacing up a new one.
Cheers for the info,
Ride on!

That happened to few of my friends too. And when I ordered KH trials
from UDC I asked them to change it beforehand and they did it for free
for me.

But yeah those sucky rims are baaaad.

Danger_Uni: The groove is common on bike rims to show the level of
sidewall wear due to brakes. I did not ask for it but the manufacturer
put it in anyway. If you have a rim that broke along the groove, you
can return it for warranty replacement.

All rims sold after April 2005 had no groove. Also the material was
upgraded from 7005 T6 aluminum to stronger 7005H T6.

As a side note: I killed two of them on my KH20 05, since then the new
rim without the groove has served me perfectly.

That warranty only applies to KH rims - I don't think Edd's is a KH.

I was afraid of that. It looks pretty similar though.

Yeah i've split 2 or 3 Alexdx rims at the join, and dented one so bad
doing the 2.87 gap that it was inverse for about 4 spokes....
