This Space for Rent

Isn’t there supposed to be a wear notch on this rim?

Mavic post-mortem

I finally got around to throwing out the mlcm’s old rear rim tonight. But to fit it into the trashcan, I needed to saw it in half, and when I had it sawn in half I had to take a picture to show how badly a wheel can get worn after a years worth of riding long loops in the rain and grit.

If you look really closely, you might be able to see the faint remains of the left hand wear notch. If you’re dreaming, you might be able to see the right hand wear notch.

That’s a rather nifty photo, even if it is also a terrifyingly effective argument for disc brakes!
