Not sure if this has been covered before. The mavic open sport rim I'm using for my wheel build has a dip/flat point where the logo/joint is. I've spent some time loosening various spokes but so far haven't been able to get rid of it entirely, although did manage to reduce it a little. I've heard that cheap rims sometimes have this problem, but I would have thought the open sport should be solid/reliable rim. This only became noticeable after fulling lacing, truing and tensioning - so I'm really hoping I haven't just wasted hours on a bad rim. Does anyone have any experience with these kinds of rim issues? Is a small dip noticeable once the tyre's on?
