I have just bought a new pair of 05 American Classic CR 420's, and I noticed that they have small dimples at each nipple on the rims side wall, like they are pulling through the rim, This is on every spoke and is on both the front and back wheels. there is a gap in the rim between where they have been pinned and can be felt and seen all the way from the braking surface aswell as on the nottom (narrow) part of the rim which makes a shudder when braking.
Also they are meant to have DT New Aero spokes, but they have a bladed spoke which has a 'P' on them, and are not DT's. Also i notice that they are part of the recall due to the serial starting with 's'
I just want to know if these 'dimples on the side wall are normal with these wheels ? and also if the joint should be able to be felt (i can stick my finger nail in it)
