Amazon, live by the sword - die by the sword, you've lost all the Bezos invested in that. After 2 years you're sort of on your own, especially with a rim. There is no wrrnty basically. If somebody gave you something I'd be shocked

Who knows where the the rim came from. Pulling what looks to be an aluminum nipple thru a rim is quite a feat.You have to be careful not to wreck the nipps when winding up the tension, much less something like that. Count yourself lucky that the failure wasn't more catastrophic

I would recommend a Grail or HED from a reputable source and in the hands of a competent builder and call it good. I don't particularly like WTB rims and would never put one on a bike, nor build one up...even for $
