Unhappy Cracking PFF7's !!!

Just curious if anyone else has had this problem. I have noticed over the last couple of weeks some small cracks appearing where the spoke meets the rim, not sure weather its in the paint or the actual rim. Am going to see the dealer soon to discuss the problem, warranty etc ?

cheers

"That will be the UK roads sir, & its always important........how often do you check your pressures sir "err weekly" ahh no sir it should be daily "err I meant that"......

Let us know how you get on Maybe a recall like there was on my bike, all the front wheels were replaced as there had been an issue with the "foundary" process.......scary on a 186mph bike.....

Re-my earlier post. Mine seem fine.
Surface fissures in alloy castings are not uncommon - you often see them on an alloy block for instance. Usually caused by the different cooling rates on the surface during casting, but as it's on the wheels I would definately get them checked out.
