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 .
