Cracked my rim....=( Need a new one Rota Action 17"

Hi guys. I have a crack on one of the spokes of my Rota Action and have called to try to purchase 1 rim but they are a discontinued model. I want to buy a Bronze 17" if you have one. I'm also willing to buy a whole new set if the price is right. I just purchased all new tires and feel SOL on the whole deal.

Do you guys thing that it would be a problem driving with one of the cracked spokes? I'm scared to drive on it thinking I'll wreck hard. I put it to the back to resist less stress from turning, but one big pothole could set it off.

Thanks

Dan

I would not drive on a cracked rim. Not only do you have to worry about it giving away, but it is also considered an air leak.


Have you considered buy other rims instead of your rotas?
