a structural layer is damaged
A structural layer is damaged when your steel frame gets a bit rusty. The question is whether it's so damaged that the margin of safety is gone.

That yellow layer is visible all around both sides of both rims at certain angles when it catches the light and has been since I bought them so I’m not worried about that.
The rim safety is a moot point now anyway, my doctor wife gave me a once over and suggested that my rib is actually broken. Waking this morning after a painful night’s ‘sleep’ and I’m sure she’s right. Breathing is painful so lugging a bike bag to Portugal for a week is a pointless, painful risk that I can’t be fucked to take
