Just waiting for someone to say that the rim is fixable, but you will need to "keep an eye" on the crack 
Anything you can do, I can do slower

Re: Giant P-SL0 - that'll buff out ....
going into winter the best thing you can do is remove those mavic tyres as quickly as possible
if i get killed while out on my bike i dont want a 'memorial ride' by random punters i have never met.
