Hmm? Is this from a shop tool...

My 260 lb. husband has those wheels on his tri bike. Never a problem. It does look like the seam. Just keep an eye on them for separation or bending. Did you baby otherwise like her spaday? How are the new tires?

Thx Kermit for responding. That is really helpful to know about your DH and the wheels. I'm in the 120s on weight, and a recreational rider. I can't imagine that they shouldn't hold up. A thread popped up in google from BikeForums that a few years ago the company had some bad eggs get through the qc line. I went to Xeros web site. I was going to email, but I think I will try calling first instead. Even over the time limit, maybe they can suggest something.

Gheez, my Giro pneumo helmet had a problem today, and they are sending me free stuff. Maybe the rims might pan out.

Yes... I think my girl did like her day at the spa. I think I like the tires. Omg, I posted a pic in the tire thread of some wicked glass I ran over today. I don't think she would mind another trip to spa-land, but I would have to go into withdrawl again lol.
