I recently bought a pair of Campag Scirocco wheels. I have just fitted them and after only 200kms I noticed a ticking sound from the front when braking.
Further examination shows that there is a fine crack right round the rim. It is clearly where the rim is joined. The rear rim does not show this at all. I'm 75Kgs so not to heavy or anything.
My problem is that I mail ordered from the UK (I'm in NZ) so returning is a bit of a pain and expensive.
Could this be normal? I can live with the sound when braking but not if this is a faulty rim and could fail on me.

Get some emery paper and smooth the joint. Not uncommon.
I haven't been her for a while but have trusted and valued your advice in the past. I've been used to Mavic Open Pros where the join is not visible on the braking surface.
