Default Rash on rim

Super pissed. And its not even my fault!

The parking attendant guided me to the worst spot in the lot. it was bumpy and dippy and was next to the sidewalk. my back wheel slipped off the sidewalk and onto the dip on the parking lot scratching the rim.

only had them a month..


the sidewalk my wheel was apparently on the verge of falling into the dip and then scratched it:

Sorrry to hear, I'd be angry as well. But these things do happen. I know you don't want to hear this, but the damage could be worse. Good luck with the repairs.

that sucks. A similar thing happened to me about 2 months ago. I touched it up with paint and the casual onlooker will never be able to tell but to me it sticks out like a sore thumb and when its time to replace the tires I'm getting the whole wheel redone. (i'm a little OCD).

it really is the worst feeling haha. cuz you just hear it grind, and you are like FML. you know you just did something really bad. i need new tires in the rear too. so i'll try and get them fixed when i get new tires.
