has anyone else ever seen this before. or think it should be warrantied? it exploded a month after having the bike

Give them a call. It's really strange that that would happen. Also I;m sure they would replace the part for you, But I wouldn't want another one of those rims if it was me.

except if you run 350 psi?

chester-r (Aug 23, 2010 at 4:06)

if u wanna knwo the psi it was 80 but the tyres suplied with the bike take 90. the rims only take 60. somthing about that sounds wrong!

cyberhawk (Aug 23, 2010 at 7:30)

60 psi aint shit.. strange rim..

rolto1822 (Aug 23, 2010 at 11:53)

thats rubbish - they should warranty it. and they should supply a decent rims stock on a bike with tyres that will take more pressure than the rims - i've only ever seen that on buggys with plastic wheels!
