As promised as soon as the festivities were over, I was back in the garage, got the wheel out, the discs off and cleaned up the hub. The news is even worse than I thought. I can see either hairline cracks or swelling of the spoke socket on over 50% of the outer spoke abutments. I used a clip on macro lens on my phone, which is very good, but it was difficult to get focused. At first I thought maybe they are just scratches from the wheelbuilding, however the pictures prove otherwise. Picture 3 is a super closeup of the same double crack shown in picture 2, and you can clearly see it's gone all the way through. Also in picture 2 it looks as though there may also be a crack at the 12 o'clock position running in line with the spoke which I only just noticed on the photo. For picture 6, I changed the light position and got a much better image proving they are cracks without doubt. wheelbu [ATTACH=full]102495[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]102496[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]102497[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]102498[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]102499[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]102500[/ATTACH]
