Examples of impacts include riding through a pothole at high speeds, riding down stairs, riding though rough roads where the rim directly impacts rocks, roots, cobbles, etc. Heat damage exposing the rims and spokes to high temperature includes situations such as expsoure to hot car exhaust and improper braking techniques on rim brakes wheels
