36 year old MA40 rim that was part of an old bike I recently bought that had been on the previous owner’s wall for a decade or 2.
Is my back rim cracked? ( front rim is barely noticeable at weld).

If you keep riding that, you’re probably going to have a bad time.
She’s dead, Jim.
Looks like the seam of the rim. If it’s exactly opposite to the valve, fear not and ride on.
Just like a butt it has a crack.
Quit shooting, he already dead…. yeah that rim is toast.
Consider finding new rims soon as possible.
It’s an old MA40, it’s a pinned rim, never welded. It’s fine.
It’s a pinned rim, not welded. The seam might look like a crack but it’s not. It’s perfectly normal and it is safe to ride
