Occasionally, when building a wheel with a non-welded
rim, there will be a snap followed by a ringing sound
as a pinned joint is pulled shut by spoke tension.
This does not happen often but it is a reminder of how
spoke tension holds a wheel together!

to weaken the rim near
the weld. There is no problem whatsoever with using
a non welded rim joint.

Subject: [OBRA Chat] Non-welded rim seams
OBRA folks,
Does anyone know how non-welded rims such as the
Mavic MA3 are joined? Has
anyone ever had any problems with such a rim
seperating at the seam under
heavy breaking or long term use? Just curious.
