this happened with my new weel!!!!!

you must have been riding some where in the northern hemisphere at around 5:32pm.. this tends to happen.

weak nipples if they're broken, spokes could have been too tight which didn't allow for any side to side flex in the wheel....unless the nipples aren't broken then they just pulled right through the rim which isn't a rare thing, means the rim is shit.

What kind of wheel is that? And did you lace it yourself? Use old spokes"

haha yeah like 3 days after i got a shadow stun rim I got a flatspot

What fuck does a rim have to do with a flatspot?

seems like the sideload more than the drop, looks to be nearly half the spokes from only one side of the rim.

It looks like a rollcage, isn't it supposed to be crosslaced?

looks more like a hazard lite and the nipple holes aren't angled for cross lacing by looking at it

IDK looking again, kinda looks like a roll or rib with a depression in the center at some angles, like a hazlight with the ridge in the center in others.

Spoke holes def dont look angled like a roll or rib, but that could be cause the nipples pulled themselves through.

Still thing its hazlight though, cause what happened and the fact that the spokes that are still connected seem like there at the wrong angle.

Probaly was trued right with to much tension or something like that,or you twisted your rim so they all came loose?

Cross laced a rim that shouldn't be, your own fucking fault you shit dick.

I'm going with everyone else about the lacing. You mightve laced it wrong and the nipples had to much tension and pulled the shit outta the rim..

2nd to last pic you can tell its deffinatley wrong

After consulting with nasa,peta,and mlb,it has been confirmed that user error played a major part in the failure.

Its a 7KA, its not supposed to be cross laced. The spokes from the right side of the rim should go to the right side of the hub. NOT the left.

Heres a pic of a roll or ribcage:Notice how the spoke holes on the left side of the rim angle to the right, made to be cross laced.

Here is a pic of a 7KA:

You laced your wheel wrong, thats why it happened.
