Our second Super Soco TC (beige) just broke its front rim, too. Same spot, same fault. This is getting serious.
hmm that's not good... do you know when/what happened? same problem as the other TC?
it broke "out of the blue". nothing special had happened. it seems that the aluminium casting does not stand 6500 km of frequent braking. it is very mountainous here, lots of curvy winding streets.
I expect that the next owners to suffer from ruptures of their rims will also live in hilly terrain. The first TC broke at 3950 km (driver weight 92 kg), the second TC broke at 6500 km (driver 72 kg). It is just a matter of time until we see very severe accidents with braking TC rims. This is a systematic defect.
Super Soco *must* replace all rims or they will die. Nobody wants to own a motorcycle which puts at risk its driver's life.
Just noted that the TS model has fewer spokes (5pcs vs 8pcs) on the TC model, must be even more fragile!?
The new Super Soco TCs sold in Germany have a new rim design with closed, stronger spokes:

This will solve the broken rim problem.
