Cracked rim around the spoke I purchased a pair of Carrera Vendetta wheels, 27.5&quot; with 2.8&quot; tyres.
I found a couple cracks where the spoke sits around the back rim.
Is it okay to ride or is it okay to weld them?
Cracks in the wheel rim do generally need attention. If the cracks are around the nipple and you're a gambling man you can keep an eye on the crack's propagation and maybe use it a little, if they're in the side/wall, it's possible failure will be a little more exciting.
If you purchased them recently you may wish to return or exchange them.
Welding is probably not an option (assuming they're aluminium).
