• Just got some cheap alloy track rims secondhand, thought this was a crack at first but upon inspection it seems like the weld seam - would it be unsafe to ride this?

    They're not welded, they're either pinned or sleeved. There's a couple of hundred Newtons of hoop compression pushing the two ends together, so nothing to worry about.
