I am not an expert but it seems a Fuchs wheel is a true forged wheel with the grains following its shape. Not a wheel carved from a forged blank. It is probably thicker and stronger than many light weight race wheel centers. Even if aged. If care is taken in selection, design, maintaince -- using it for a build should not keep it from having solid potential to make for a very usable and reliable road or race wheel.
Seems that even the best race wheels will sometimes fail.
One report is probably not enough to conclude that Lindsey's are not a safe road or race wheel.
How about just getting another wheel built and having them all xrayed or professionally inspect some way like the real race teams do.
A more important conclusion might be for all if us to inspect our race (and road) wheels front and back often no mater where they come from, how old they are, or how they were built.
We are lucky to have such fine quality Lindsey wheels for us to choose from.
