Stupid Question? - Newbie requires help.

Hi all,

I'm new to this road biking game but since buying a Trek 1200 a week ago I'm absolutely loving it.

Problem is - I have just come back from a ride and have noticed what appears to be a slight crack across the rim (on both front and rear and appears to be in the same place (right on the 'T' of Bonetrager tyres)). It is like a hair line crack.

The rims are still standard, and although they don't say on them, I believe their are Alex (?) rims. I have done about 200 miles and weigh 13.5 stone.

Right the stupid bit - is this likely to be where the rim join is? I have never had any cracks on my MTB rims??

Can someone please put me mind at ease???

Cheers.

    It's probably the join in the rim, but if you post a pic or two we'll be better able to see.

    I bet you will find it is exactly opposite the valve, this is the joint in the rim, more visible on some wheels than others.

    Just checked - directly opposite the valve. Cheers for the replies guys!

    I take it my wheels won't break up on me just yet then? :D
