Anybody tried to weld something like this? Or any other bright ideas? I'm a cheapskate so want to fix it.

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

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 .

Ok, had a look at a couple of online shops and nobody has any 26" rims... Any ideas?

Had a very similar situation recently, try looking on ebay, got myself a replacement rim for just over R1000.

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.

sorry, cant see the pic.

 

What what type of rim is it and how many holes?

 

I have 2 old mavic 117 rims, 32 hole.

 

Edit - sorry, think its also the 117, not 317
