I have had this response from weightweenies
'OTOH the wheel in question looks alright. the area you are talking about looks like someone grabbed a bunch of brake, hard, in an n emergency stop. I wouldn't sweat it, it's definitely rideaable. thei're tubbies anyway so brake track failure from heat issues are much less of a concern than clinchers. would cork pads do that? no idea. you may experience some 'pulsing' during braking however.'
Anyone agree/disagree?
