I've had the same thing happen to me, resulted in a really badly dinged rear rim (not a bonty wheel! I think I would have done the same damage to a heavy duty MTB wheel). The cracking on the rim that you have experienced is no more common than on any other type of wheel that we sell or service so I wouldn't worry about the durability of the new rim.īy the way, I hope you had a quiet word with the riders in front of you who didn't point out the pothole you rode into. I should probably say that I work at a Trek/Lemond dealer at this point.

You should be able to source the rims and spokes from any Trek/Lemond dealer - if you have problems sourcing a matching rim (from the 03/04 wheels), without being able to check the tech manual I'm pretty certain that the rims from the current wheels are the same dimensions if not a perfect visual match. Three weeks later told no parts available and had no idea when parts would be available. Two trips to service didnt change much and on the third the found the rear axle worn and metal fragments in the rear hub. After two months/2000 miles started to get chain hang at 35 plus. I would rebuild with new spokes in your situation. Ok got myself a new 2009 Madone 5.2 with the Bontrager Race Lite wheelset. This may be worth considering if you have done many miles on them, the age of your wheels along with the cracking on the rear suggests you have had some good use out of them. The rebuild was no harder than a standard wheelbuild and as the spokes are also relatively cheap I took the opportunity to use new spokes. I replaced the rims on the X-Lites I have been using on my cross bike as they wore out on the braking surface. Over tensioning them can lead to failure of rim or hub just as on any other wheel. The standard DT Swiss spokes used in the wheels don't need super-high tension, they are tensioned in the same Kgf range as on a standard wheel (130-160 Kgf - rear driveside for reference).

Fortunately the rims are relatively cheap - in U.K prices £40 each, a bit more than high end standard rims (Mavic Open Pro ~ £35) and much cheaper than a Ksyrium rim ~ £80 depending on model (not that there is anything wrong with Ksyriums, just a comparison).

I don't know of any other rim that would work as the hubs have paired holes just as the rims do. Always wear a helmet.Replacing the rim with another Bontrager one is the way to go.
