Bought an old Zipp 440 carbon rim off eBay and should probably have had this checked before I had it rebuilt, but didn’t... Now regretting it. Previous owner has ‘expanded’ the valve hole.

What’s the verdict, safe or not safe?

return it. you'll still be covered by eBay even if you didn't check it fully when you collected it

It was ages ago and has been rebuilt since... Oh well, the verdict seems to be to bin the wheel then.

Just wish I’d checked before splurging on rebuild... Teach me not to get overexcited at the prospect of carbon rims and ignore the inspection.
