To be honest, it does look like you hit a pothole, or went over train tracks too hard. I dont think any rim would survive this. 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.

My KORE Cyclone CRACKED after 500km of road riding.

never flatted, 31-32mm tyres, always on-road, 85kg and with tubes. Sent images to KORE and they blamed the crack from a rock strike. They also rested on their 2000 sales and said they test EVERY wheel for safety (what ever that means?) Told me to buy a new rim and build it back up myself. Crap customer service and questionable rims
