  1. I noticed the other day that my unicycle was making popping noises so
    when i went to check it out it seems that on the outside most park of
    my rim it seems to have started peeling off. sorry i have no pictures
    to show but if you start at the tire the very first part of the rim
    (the rim of the rim) where there is that indent it is peeling off. is
    this a cause for immediate concern or do i have a while before i have
    to do something about it?

  4. The rim is the Kris holm 19" trails rim, and it is the metal peeling
    from what looks like the tire pushing out from it.

  5. If you are describing what I believe you are, that was an issue with a
    batch of KH rims a while back, there was a groove in the rim which made
    maguras make a sound when they needed to be replaced but it weakened
    the rim and a lot of people had the outer edge breaking off. I'm pretty
    sure they were getting them replaced without a cost as manufacturers
    defects.

  8. EDIT: here is a more direct link to what Kris had said about the rim
    http://tinyurl.com/cf5t6 I was wrong about it being to make a sound,
    but was right about them being replaced.

    It is discussed there. There are photographs, is that doing the same
    thing as your rim?
