Uneven wheel rim joint

I recently took delivery of a 29" unicycle from mad4one. Nice uni overall but one side of the rim joint is uneven, as shown. It’s obviously a manufacturing defect, probably during the cutting process. Is this fairly common??

It would be a good idea to contact them. They respond to emails very quickly

Yeah, I will and report back.

Rims are rolled from straight parts, and the joint always show. But yes, this one is particularly ugly!

Nothing that a little putty can‘t deal with. :wink:
Hard to say how deep the indent is, but it‘s certainly outside of what I would consider normal.
