the rims of the chumba xcl wheel, what's the best
I bought chumba xcl Novemember last year from lbs, but I 've just found the cracks on the f/r rims yesterday's riding. I was worried while riding.
when I got home, I started thinking other way; this may be the way the rim's been made by chumba. And also any ideas of the best fitting wheels for this, chumba xcl riders. I'll post the pic. |

Last I heard Chumba does not make rims. Look into warranty where you bought the bike.

The chumba Rims are from WTB and the Hub is made by Kore . They just have chumba printed on them. The wheels are really strong in general the free hub is a little weak. but under normal use it should hold up fine.
Did you find a crack in the rim or is it a seam? I have seen the rims do a 30 foot gap and not break. |

i agree... thats a seam.
pull your tire and tube out and you should see it as either pinned or welded/machined. cracks tend to not be PERFECTLY straight.

Thats a SEAM . You will be fine.. Let me know it you have a bunch of those that are all jagged all around your rim.
Welded are the best but a wheel with an insert seam can last a long time also.  Quote:
