I recently purchased a used set of Mavic Carbonne wheels, and there is a
small (~1/4"😉 crack in the carbon right by one of the spokes on the front
wheel. Is this wheelset safe to ride on? It still feels plenty strong,
but I am a little uneasy because of the crack.

Here's a photo (if it's up yet):

Thanks,

The carbon on this wheel is a fairing only, adds no structural
integrity to the wheel at all..so ride with confidence.

Is that a big hit with the ladies? ;-)

Am I mistaken or wasn't there a time when UCI rules didn't allow
non-structural aerodynamic bits & pieces on bikes & parts? Clearly that's
not the case today, and perhaps I'm not remembering correctly.
