Cracked rim halves
I cracked a rim half the other day, at about 200 kmh, resulting in a rapid tyre deflation and some increased heart rate, but luckily not much damage.
The rim is held together with 8mm bolts, where all my other ones are 6mm. Would this leave too little material in the rim half, causing the crack? Do they just work harden and need to be replaced after a certain amount of use? Does rough tyre changing lessen the life? Jeff
