very very interesting
I'm really interested to hear this, as I experienced the exact same thing with a velocity rim.
about two years ago, I used to work at a bike shop, and we (not I, the other wheel builder at the time) built some kid a shiny new Deep V laced to a formula hub. the night he picked it up, we all went on a group ride. I was riding about 30 feet behind him going down a slight hill, he hit a pave-over spot in the road, about equivalent to one of those gradual suburban speed bumps, and BANG!! crazy blowout M-80 explosion, the kid goes down on his shoulder, and his brand new deep V with less than 20 miles on it was completely taco-ed. Velocity refused to help in any way, so we sold the kid another rim for wholesale and rebuilt his wheel, which, to my knowledge has been fine.
I dunno, I rode velocity's for two years with no problems, and I was really hard on my wheels. but this is the second velocity rim i've seen do exactly the same thing. glad for you that it didn't damage the SV.
