Girlfriend botched a dismount, board shot into a curb and chipped my hub. Is this rim cooked? (Pint S)
Hey guys, I could use some advice on my Pint S.
My girlfriend had a bit of an incident today. She was practically standing still and tried to do a two-foot jump off. Unfortunately, one of her feet lingered on the front footpad a fraction of a second longer than the other. The board didn't disengage; instead, it shot forward on its own and smashed right into a curb. Conditions weren't great either – it was wet outside, and there was some wet sand on the footpads.
The hub took a pretty nasty hit. I've attached some photos of the damage to the rim.
The good news is that the tire is still holding air perfectly fine. I also took the board for a test ride afterwards, and the sensor/footpad seems to be working perfectly, so no ghosting issues there.
My main question for the more experienced riders is about the hub:
How bad does this damage look to you? Since the tire holds air and the board rides fine, is this purely cosmetic? Should I just file down the sharp edges and keep riding, or is there something else I should check after a hard impact like this?
Let me know what you think. Thanks!
