yeah have no idea what the dam wildebeest weighs in at, plus to take into consideration the best was running at full pace haha.. but gonna have to take it in for a pro to give me an oppinion... thanks

Iv just seen your lenghty assistance to the rescue message thanks.. makes sense what you saying i guess, and the rim is definately not cracked anywhere, not looking like spaghetti and i think could be described as a slight wobble if anything, so let me try my luck with my local bike shop to try repair the rim

Im not into building any wheels, i just want to repair my current wheel which was stood on, i dont know if it can be repaired or if i can buy only one new one and use my old hub or what happening on complex side of the dam wheel but ya just want to get riding again, going to check out buycycles website thanks

Grebel and others, maybe check out his website for all the info, but i can assure you the valuables gained will be well worth it for all your fufutre biking needs!!! oh his site is..... www.yellowsaddle.co.za

okay, in english? So if my rim was stood on and is slightly buckled it would effect my spokes which would affect my hub? Is that all right?

Marius thank you so much for all the advice and help!! learning more everyday!!

how would you know how many spokes a rim consists of? are they all diff?

I need all of the above so sounds good to me!!! will update the post

howzit guys So your mtb wheel as it stands ready to ride on on your bike consists of? And if you were to have a buckled rim and were upgrading your rims cause you cant just get one you would need to change? Would the hubs and what ever else they consist of be affected by rim? Can these be interchangeable? Have XT hubs which been told are pretty good so can i keep those and out them into new rims, or do rims come with these? Whats the build up and how hard is it to get all together?

Johan Bornman has said if feasible for him and the numbers are confirmed to attend he will come here to meet with all of us interested in attending. Whose in???? This is the real deal people?? They made me add the poll in, dunno why, dont bother answering it, rather reply

if only you did this in durbs!! or there was someone that did....

wow looks nice congrats on coming over to the real side of cycling, may you never wanna go back, but sweet bike man!!

okay ya, not saying they could have forseen it, but warned us of them being aroud they sure could have!!

haha not much diff you gonna see in a pic im afraid, as i said its not terribly bad, and just annoying that its now gonna set me back more when im not even getting to upgrade to anything in the process.. Before the race they warned us of a few small buck that might be around etc, but never said a word there might be 4 massive wildebeest charging up one of the most narrow section of single track..

Howzit guys So 2 weeks ago did the lake eland super classic, which was am awesome race except for being full on charged on a nice fast flowing section of tight single track with no where to go but bush either side from 4 big wildebeest running up the track. So all 4 of us in a line tried our best to get out the way, fron guy not being so succesful with i think all 4 maybe standing on his rim, spokes bust and tyre popped along with buckled rim, that was him done. i got out the way only enough for the last fat running wildebeest to manage to stand on my back rim on his way past, i wouldnt say its terrible, fifinshed the race, but the whole wheel has a nice wobble to it and just doesnt feel or look great in my opinion. I dont think anything else on the bike was affected other then the rim, but it is slightly buckled or lob sided now and even the main disc is now not running exactly straight through the pads from it. Can this rim be fixed somehow? any chance of it being the same? Do i have to replace rim? Oh rims are alex xcr100d white light wheels if that makes a diff? Shot guys

UK 11, rather average size... bigger then i would like, but man some of you guys with boats of 14's should take up competitive swimming instead with them flippers!!

makes two of us scotty!! netherlands for the win!!!!!!!1

i could dit and stare while drooling on my keyboard all day at this baby!!! very very niiiiice meneer!!

always nice to hear

lucky you, so ya just 20% on total order then?
