Image 1 — Rider took Tarmac SL8 on test ride. Bike came back with chip in C38 front rim, cut in front tire and inner tube. Can’t sell a bicycle with a chipped rim, Rider Care agreed provided a new C38 rim and paid for labor. I’m thankful the rider returned safely. Damaged C38 rim has to be destroyed.

These things happen. It’s just a rim, the rider getting hurt would be a bigger issue to explain.
Rider probably rode through a sharp pot hole or metal in the road.
One spoke nipple did not survive taking the wheel apart, that was also replaced.
