| Re: Cracked wheel spoke
dhemrick,
The process used to chrome the rims may have something to do with it. I read somewhere that the heating and cooling of the rims during the process results in the rims becoming more brittle. This is why most chromed rim manufacturers will NOT warranty them in cold weather. It is possible that this contributed to the premature "failure" of the spoke. Mine, of course, came from hitting a pothole, but that is another story (been there, done that).
Good luck.
