Hey ho,
New carbon tubular wheels, Yeah! Lots of holes for spoke nipples and one for the valve, right. Then there are two spots where it looks like there is a seam or something of that nature (two spots on each rim). They appear to be spots that are checked during the Quality Control check, there are colored pencil marks and one of the spots on each rim has a QC/OK sticker. Well one of the four spots has what I will describe as a 'fingernail depression' in the middle of it. Further probing reveals that the tire bed there is soft, if you pushed hard I believe you could make a hole (like if you probed it with a golf pencil). The other three spots are hard and smooth with no divots. The manufacturer says it was QC checked and is normal and dont worry about it. If it ever gives me trouble they will replace it. They also said I can wait several weeks, with no wheel, for a replacement... What do you think???
