Collapsing rim after 18 months- seen anything like it?

wtjs · 2021-07-27T12:07:50+01:00

I only noticed this yesterday on my Vitus gravel bike- must be some rubbish alloy (pictures coming next). I've never had this happen before, and I have wheels over 40 years old . Unsurprisingly, there is nothing definitive to indicate the rim manufacturer

WTB rims, probably an i23 or i25. Pretty standard OEM fitment – even high end stuff like Santa Cruz use them.
