![cracked eyelet on a mavic ma3 rim](http://www.clubantietam.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/1140326m.jpg)
a cracked eyelet on a mavic ma3 rear 700c rim. the spoke and nipple have been pulled through the rim in a series of cracks at the eyelet.. I suspect this is a fatigue failure. there are also smaller cracks on about 9 or 10 other eyelets, mostly going in the tangential direction of the rim. apparently I’m not alone.
