I have only just noticed this next to my spoke hole, is this a scratch or a slight crack?, I think I have had this for about 2 months without knowing.

Yes, it’s a crack.
Yep. Cracked. It will fail eventually, but you won’t know until it’s too late.
Definitely the start of a crack, check the other holes and spoke tension too. Reach out to your shop if you’re the original owner, I’ve seen Sunringle replace wheels for similar failures.
Yup, you are now the proud owner of a cracked rim. I don’t recommend you cycle around with that crack. No it’s not economically reparable a new wheel is significantly cheaper.
That rim is done
Very familiar. I also have had TWO sets of sun ringle durocs crack.
In their defense, they warranty them out quick. On my second warranty claim they offered me a 40% discount on the Reynolds high-end rims.
I passed. Ready to move on from them as a wheel manufacturer.
All my rear rims eventually do this.
Happy new rim day
