Well well, been riding on these wheels for over a year now without issues. Hit a MASSIVE pothole a few weeks ago, like 6" deep and those scratches on the sidewall are from it. I checked the bike after and it seemed like just cosmetic damage. Now I've been riding a few weeks after that incident and just noticed a crack in the wheel.
The roads I ride on are... well they're shitty to say the least (I live in New Orleans) and some of the roads here are absolutely a fucking nightmare to ride on. I do my best to avoid the major potholes but when you're riding at 25mph+ sometimes they just appear right in front of you and you can't even avoid them they're so massive and span the entire road in some places. Anyways just riding on the shitty roads here and the vibrations must have caused this crack to appear.
Is there a way to fix this or is my wheel completely fucked? It seems like it will continue to spread unless I find a way to fix it but I have no idea how to even do that, maybe some epoxy glue or something and just spread it around / inside the crack?
