RexFuzzle Posted September 12, 2017 Share So this happened...Anybody tried to weld something like this? Or any other bright ideas? I'm a cheapskate so want to fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Marshall Posted September 12, 2017 Share Do yourself a favour and scrap it. Sell the spokes (if you can) and free hub and then get a new wheel. DirtyFrank 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RexFuzzle Posted September 12, 2017 Share Had a quick look for a similar 26" wheel (tubeless and sealed bearings) and isn't much in the 2nd hand section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaper Posted September 12, 2017 Share That wheel is finished, sell what parts you can salvage if you want to offset cost for a new wheel, else maybe get a new rim and rebuild with the spokes and hub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popit Posted September 12, 2017 Share Don't believe you will be able to fix that .Any good ally welder can weld it , but the heat changes will just cause stress and breakages elsewhere . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Letum911 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Scrap the rim. I reckon the cheapest would be is to get a new rim from cwc or crc and have it re built. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RexFuzzle Posted September 12, 2017 Share Ok, had a look at a couple of online shops and nobody has any 26" rims... Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popcorn_skollie Posted September 12, 2017 Share Don't toss them. Those rims are great for banging with a stick at downhill events. Odinson, Mongoose!, Sepia and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

varkie2 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Or buy n twentynaainer. It rolls over the rocks then the wheel wont get damaged like that.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a cheapskate so want to fix it.If you fix it you will inevitably visit me professionally... or one of my colleagues... Don't be a cheapskate on safety items - replace it.
