It is the lightweight Taiwanese rims that distort over time.

Indeed, pay close attention to the top part of my rim:



Although that was the result of an unfortunate encounter with a large reflective block thing in the middle of the road, I had to swerve to avoid a stupid bike, and CONK!

Thankfully it's just the outside lip of the rim, the damage is basically only cosmetic...

I'm going for 16" next time
