Any information you can provide will be appreciated a lot. Thank you
Yes. Some also call it “blipping a rim” because of what you feel in the brakes when using a rim brake. The causes of a ding or blip or dent (take your pick) can be many. Most of them have to do with underinflation for the impacts the wheel encounters. It’s very common to see blipped tubeless rims in mountain bikes because they are running such ridiculously low pressures.
