Maximis Posted October 26, 2015 Share I had a set on a new Merida I bought a few years back. I was 110kg at the time and rode the bike hard, they stood up to my weight, soled the bike and rims separately, rims were true as they day I got them... They very heavy tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jensie Posted October 26, 2015 Share That looks like it is on the weld or joint. Eish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cylon Posted October 26, 2015 Share Completely destroyed the front rim on my maiden voyage on Jalcos. I weigh 83 kgs. Would advise anybody who has the misfortune of receiving them on a bike to replace them immediately with something else as they're definitely not safe for off-road use  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JXV Posted October 26, 2015 Share In both cases the pics appear to show joint failures. I am not convinced it is a rider weight problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, time limitations apply to CPA protections so act quickly and get all interactions with supplier in writing or record them. Imagine if they sold climbing ropes this way!!!
