I have a set of Phil Wood / Open Pro wheels up for sale and trying to solicit opinions if the rim join is damaged or not. I'd rather not sell someone complete wheels if rim or rims are damaged, but would be a shame to disassemble a well built set unnecessarily. So good to hear what people think.
There is no wear or anything untoward on the rim wall where the join is, only on the top section where the rims show machining and have a visible 'step' down from new. Best description would be that it looks like a deformity or a squish to the machining, but is uglier than if compared to a new rim. Primarily the front, rear rim looks okay. I've ridden them with the stickers off for at least a year and I've seen no change or cracks propagate or anything.
Photos are attached. Also, the best image of a new rim I could fine to show the 'step' down I mean on the Open Pros at the join.
Many thank for any help. Much appreciated.
