New bikes often have untrue wheels. They sit in a container for several weeks in docks, on boats etc and have to endure huge temperature changes during their journey here. First pair of wheels I ever built were a forced rush job for a customer. I used a book for instruction as nobody else in the com...

I have to report that apart from yours Barry I've seen two other bikes with the same issue. One at work with 6800 Ultegra and one at a race 9000 Dura Ace both broken same place.

Tubs and tubelessare not to be confused. By tubeless we mean clinchers running without inner tubes. Alan is spot on. Nearly all good mtbs will be running tubeless now.
