At this point be happy you didnt have $2000 rims on your bike. Ask them to sell you just one complete wheel as a crush replacement, at a discount.
To be honest, i wish that was the case, then i wouldn't need to be on here bitching about how crap the product is. Last carbon wheelset was around 1.5k and still haven't died after 8yrs. Is the market accepting of riding wheels that will catastrophically fail if hit by a crack in the road or a pebble? inflated with a digi pump each ride, tubed and with wider tyres than the external rim width. I guess that is why the price is low as they don't batch test regularly. anyone know who the rim manufacturer is?
UPDATE: Kore replied saying the factory only tests for 'Radial static loading' and Lateral Rigidity' sounds like they skip on the impact resistance test.
