Advice needed - Small crack in front wheel!

[Rhythms]

Hey All,

I'm new on this list and had my 06 Ltd. for a couple of months. I just noticed a small crack in the front rim and am seeking some of your thoughts on what action to take. Obviously I need to either have this fixed or replaced. Anyone with similar experience?

Thanks for your help.

First off Welcome

You are going to want to get a replacement wheel as you are dealing with material failure which is a fatal issue with a wheel.

Check with our sponsors as someone may be able to hook you up.

Rhythms. Sorry to see the failure on your wheel. Follow Dr. E's instructions.

A sponsor will get you taken care of

We have a sponsor here that does chrome. Look up sport chrome under the sponsors tab and the guys name is John Reed.

Welcome Please repair/replace ASAP!

Assuming that he bought this bike used, is that more likely to be damage from impact or an actual defect in the manufacture of the wheel? What say you experienced motorcycle wheel people? Just curious.
