Heenan Posted May 16, 2015 Posted May 16, 2015 Hi guys, I cracked my mountain bike rim. Who can fix it in cape town area and at what sort of price? Or where can I buy a new Chinese rim? I have been struggling to find someone Any help would be great
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted May 16, 2015 Posted May 16, 2015 Jeepers, what did you hit!? Probably the best person to speak to would be Bogus One here on the hub, but I wouldn't hold out much hope for that being rescued. For a replacement, head to light bicycle and get a rim there. $ 180 for a rim
BogusOne Posted May 16, 2015 Posted May 16, 2015 Rather dont repair that.Get a new one.The integrity of that rim is toast so all you will do when you repair that is do a cosmetic repair. No one as far as i know has a rim profile mould in SA which is what you will need to do a propper repair on that. Ill pass this one I think.

Iv just had a look their they look good but shipping is pretty expensive. Thanks for the help
David Marshall Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 I wouldn't think of repair. It will be close to impossible to true effectively afterwards.
