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

re the Zipp: The yellow is probably Kevlar, suggesting a structural layer is damaged.
