I heard a ping during a leisurely ride this morning. I thought it was a spoke and stopped for a quick check but couldn't spot any problems. The wheel was still true, so I thought nothing of it. While cleaning the bike this afternoon, I saw this crack.
Its a Fulcrum Racing 5, the rear wheel. Only 7-8 months old, but ridden fairly extensively, about 3000 miles.
What are your thoughts on it? Keep riding for daily commutes and keep an eye on it, or completely avoid riding all together.
If the wheel could see me through a few weeks, my cash flow will be a lot better and I'll be able to buy a nice new wheelset. Avoiding use will either mean buying a very cheap rear wheel now or riding my MTB to work which would be a real pain (14m each way).
Cheers
