Check your rims

[CXRAndy]

After a couple of repeated punctures, one from a thorn and the second I thought from me nipping the inner tube on installation. I found the real cause

New DT Swiss rims and Hope hubs to replace these obviously cheap rims

Had similar a few years ago. Kept feeling a judder when breaking and kept telling myself to check my rims when i got home... but got home, feet up, forgot about the judder. Days passed and I kept forgetting to check until one evening, on my way home from work, the back wheel wouldn't go round; rim finally fully failed at the join and split. I did take a photo but I'm buggered if i can find it.

At least you have no doubt what the problem was.
I spent most of the weekend trying to diagnose intermittent bearing friction - either in the left pedal spindle or possibly the bottom bracket.

Much twiddling and investigating later, I think it was a crank hitting the pump!

What was wrong with the hub?

That’s scary, I shudder to think the outcome had it failed totally at speed

Bike bud’s rear wheel, from a few weeks ago. I wanted to call ETA to take us to the railway stat, he wanted to see how far he could get on a damaged rear wheel. From Holkham Hall to King’s Lynn station, it seemed.
that wheel is now a ‘fairy light’ chandelier, in the garden.
