Hunt wheels - sharp bead?
 
Just got some Hunt wheels - 4 season gravel (aluminum rims)
They're hooked, which I wanted.
The inner edge of the hook/bead is kind of sharp, like when you cut sheet metal and don't file the edges. Pretty sure I could cut my finger if I ran one along the bead. I'm thinking it could eventually cut the tire.
Anybody else notice this?

I guess I could run a file or sandpaper along the edge but... WTH?

Apologies, however Hunt = Punt, not surprising, send them back https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSf28u9lVX0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJ9rehaA1YM

Sorry, I can't hear you. Your freehub is too loud... :)

I've only had great experiences with Hunt wheels, and the freehubs are among the quietest wheels I own.

That guy at "Mapdec" or wherever he's from needs to be committed to an institution.
