chip in my carbon wheel

Today i was replacing my tubulars on my prime rr-50 wheels , and i saw this surprice https://drive.google.com/file/d/11GK...ew?usp=sharing
I used the "effetto mariposa - carogna" gluing tape since is one of the most good-rated type of tubular-glue (also kinda expensive as well since the tape vost 19$ and the glue 3$).
But i belive that is not caused from the tape , maybe a little defct on the wheels?

- Is the the wheel safe to ride?
- What can cause this kind of damage?

ps. i already sent an email to the support.

what caused the need for replacing the tire?
Did you ride on an underinflated tire or flat/bead rolling off the rim?

Sand the rough edges, a bit of epoxy, or just nail polish, and ignore.

The clear coat pulled up where it goes over a sticker, likely from the tape. Nail polish might pull up again, but NBD.

I've done various CF touch ups, a DIY frame repair, and nursed carbon tubulars to the bitter end by adding epoxy to worn thin brake tracks, etc. etc..

Forks, steerer tubes, and handle bars call for a more conservative approach, but in general, the sky is not falling. A lifetime of building/making stuff and many years of hanging from bits of metal and webbing thousands of feet in the air while rock climbing provide real-world risk assessment that I'm confident in.

OP this should very obviously posted in 'bicycle mechanics' NOT general discussion. There are different forum sections for a reason.

cxwrench is correct and also post the picture here. I waited 30 seconds and it didn't load. No need to put it elsewhere just upload here so we can easily see it.

Where's the problem? At the 24H sticker ?
Looks like some delamination that shouldn't happen.
