[Aluminium rim repair... splitting at the rim joint]

The wheel is fine. You're not going to have a problem. Ride and be happy. Hollow butt joined rims are (usually) incredibly strong. Sometimes it takes a little bit of effort to get the joint sealed the first time you go tubeless with them but that's about it. FWIW, I have a set of enduro rims built this way. They're practically indestructible.

Cool, thank you very much for the input and advice.

Jip, removed decal on the one side and it was indeed dried sealant, will keep an eye on the joint.

Very likely just the decal lifting. Water etc can creep in under the decal at the joint,. remove it and take a peak underneath if you are concerned.

 

My 29er DT Swiss 1900 rear rim is also splitting at the joint and leaking air. Stans is sealing it, but I need to start looking for some replacement.

Bubble is rock hard, not moving around when pushing against it.

Hi Hubbers, was searching for a forum covering what I found on my rear rim this afternoon, couldn’t find anything specific, thought someone here might have some answers.

 

Found a small bubble on both sides under the rim decals where the rim is joined together. Definitely not seen it before, can it be some form of rust? Front rim still looks perfect.

Besides it being illegal to cycle against traffic flow, i find it extremely distracting when cycling on the wrong side of the road, you have to focus on the road ahead(potholes, broken alcohol bottles, etc) and the vehicles that is coming from the front. Easier to cycle with traffic flow and just trying not to swallow my saddle from the wrong end when I hear a vehicle approaching from behind and it feels a bit to close for comfort.

Louwtjie86, do you get that bottle cage and tube strap together? Have that bottle on the top of my tube, will sort out my issue as well.

Hi Jako,

 

I bought the dual cage kit and the traingle storage kit from Lyne. The traingle box comes with a short rail and straps. So just used the one bottle cage from the dual cage kit and mounted it on the short rail and mounted the storage box with the other bottle cage. Maybe Lyne can supply you with short rail and straps, not sure if they will sell it as a separate item.

Hi

 

Due to the tight clearance inside the frame (large size) I tried a slightly different approach when installing the Holy Rail system. Works with either two 750ml bottles or 750ml and a 500ml. Used the rail attachment of the triangle storage box to mount the bottle cage. Can also flip it to have bottle on top of the top tube and it is very secure. If I go on a short ride and both bottles are not needed I just remove the other bottle holder.
