Since I am now dealing directly with the company that manufactured the rim, I can for sure say it IS a Light Bicycle rim. But they ARE doing the right thing and replacing the rim for FREE with an updated version, all I have to do is pay shipping ~$44, I just hope it is here in time for the Keystone BME race, I already missed 90% of Snowmass and ALL of the Durango BME race due to this "failure"
Thanks to Light Bicycle, I will be missing yet another BME race. I do not have a few hundred $$$ lying around to buy another wheel, just for 1 race. I am already having to sell my baby, Evil Undead, because of the $$$ crunch due to moving.
Light Bicycle has caused me to miss out on ALL 3 BME races, I paid, trained and moved here to Denver for. Oh, except for the first stage of the first race, so thanks for that, I guess?
