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.

    well im superduper new to citrus and im trying to download a hello kitty cooking game (dont judge) but it was a cia file. i did the thing to turn it into cci but citra says you need the game to be a folder to import it. im kinda dumb so maybe im not looking hard enough for answers if anyone can help....
  • HiradeGirl @ HiradeGirl:
    Be a folder? What's the exact error message?
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Just double click the folder and add it
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    The root folder where you have games stored
  • HiradeGirl @ HiradeGirl:
    Yeah, just try the "add new game directory".
  • JefferyCuddletrousers @ JefferyCuddletrousers:
    no error message, and its just a file not a folder
  • HiradeGirl @ HiradeGirl:
    And do what the troll said.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah but Citra uses that to scan folders
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    So it could be like C:\\Games\folder\game.Cci
  • JefferyCuddletrousers @ JefferyCuddletrousers:
    nothing like that pops up
  • JefferyCuddletrousers @ JefferyCuddletrousers:

  • JefferyCuddletrousers @ JefferyCuddletrousers:

    :nayps3:
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    You can also drag and drop the game into it for future reference
  • JefferyCuddletrousers @ JefferyCuddletrousers:
    i know that, it just wouldnt show because it had to be a file and it wasnt
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Well now it works
  • JefferyCuddletrousers @ JefferyCuddletrousers:

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Think this Nyko PowerPak+ in my OG 3DS is starting to expand ever so slightly 😨 what a shame, to have to go back to an OG size battery soon.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Most emulators will be like that where it asks for a parent directory
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    @Sicklyboy, 3ds batteries are fairly cheap just don't overspend on oem
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Yeah I just like this massive extended battery lol
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Lol length
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I remember those psp batteries that came with bulged psp battery covers
