hmmm it was :D. At the moment i am sorting out warranty issues as the nipples are begining to pull through the rim. Its not a major problem as yet, but i wouldnt like it to give way! Rhythm Imports are looking into it for me at the moment, have sent them pictures of the problem.

Is that the alloy nipples failing or the rim itself?
