Shimano ultegra wheels WH 6500
I have these wheels since 2001, and have been doing all my training klms on these wheels.
The hubs run smoothly with very little resistance, and I have never had to re-pack the brgs. I have seldom trued them since the wheel stands well.
Recently, the upper part of the joint on the rim opened up slightly, and was "catching" slightly on the brake pad while braking.
I could grind down the un-eveness of the gap so the brake pad will not catch.
However, I would like an recommendation whether it is safe to continue using the rim in such a condition. In other words, do I risk rim failure going downhill?
