Need help with this, sounded like a small stone was flying round my rim, managed to remove these (like a hard resin) but unsure if it’s going to cause problems going forward, not had bike long.. (Giant propel) TIA

A pic of the rim they came out of would also be useful. As would some indication of scale in the pic above.

Looks like a lump of glue/resin from during manufacture has become detached inside the rim void once the wheel was used. Nothing to worry about IMO. Just clean it out as you already have done and carry on riding. That is all the shop would do. Might be worth reporting it though because if it keeps happening I would be rejecting the wheel as substandard.
