Been having trouble with my rear tyre losing pressure overnight (gravelking+ on a hope 20Five rim). Thought I must have buggered up seating it but then spotted this bubbling (presumably a bit of sealant) from the inner surface of the actual rim itself. Looks like there's a tiny crack, not sure what from. Two questions:
- presumably the rim is buggered? I emailed the hope warranty people who said I could post it to them to have a look....not sure it's worth the time/hassle.
- can anybody recommend a north london wheelbuilder who would build me a new rear wheel on the hub (a 32 hole hope RS4, if that makes a difference)?

I'm in Haringey

You want the same rim I presume.

Awesome, I'm in fins park so Haringey is perfect. Actually not super fussed about the rim - happy to swap for something else. I'm quite heavy so maybe something like a dt swiss rr521 or kinlin xr31 is a better idea?
