Ha! If we had 36t bolt drive sprockets in stock (all Tree carries in house above 33t is spline drive only, and I'm currently on some Fly cranks) you could consider it done.

The warranty is against defects in materials workmanship that kind of thing, we are pretty generous with it, but there doesn't seem like a lot of doubt that an impact that can do that to a Rollcage would mangle pretty much any rim in a similar way (and many would fair much worse)...
Having said that, Logan (warranty at odysseybmx.com) is a super nice guy and he might well be offer you a crash replacement deal that will save you a fair bit of cash and get you rolling again, so worth hitting him up...

Thanks George, I appreciate your advice. I wouldn't have expected a full warranty replacement. This is pretty clearly rider error. I was just surprised I didn't notice it on the day it happened

my mate bought a second hand wheel with a gsport rim that had been clipped like this as well (not as bad as pats mind) but yeah he rode it for ages with no problems.
i had to take my gland off today cos its ruined. i landed on the edge of it a couple of times when grinding a square rail and it bent a bit, and one of the holes where you tie it to the wheel pulled through. since then the rest of the holes pulled through as well and the whole thing got bent over and totally fucked which is a shame. had a good 7-8 years use though, gonna have to buy some new ones
