The thing was pretty out of true when I noticed it, so I think the rim is done for. Not sure how it could be trued with the damage that was there. My mechanic has sent a request for a warranty replacement. I have not heard back from him yet. Either way the wheel is getting repaired, and as quick as it can be, My winter bike, which I am riding now is just not near as fun to ride.

@ThermionicScott The rim is pretty thin. Its a Velocity A23 rim, not sure of the thickness they use for their rims. I went for them to create a lighter set of wheels than what came on my Orbea.
I think the spokes are double butted. They are DT-swiss spokes, not sure the exact product off hand.

This is the first set of wheels I have actually upgraded on a bike. Other bikes I have had for such little time I did not see the need to spend a bunch of money on, but man I love this Orbea lol.
