Alloy rim repairs

[BigT4]

I have a set of campagnola scrirroco rims. The rear wheel has 2 cracks by 2 nipples. I have already got new wheels.

 

Just would like to know if they can be repaired, as i cant get just a rim. Or should i just chuck then out as trash.

Chat to Dave at Spoke and Spanner.

If he can't fix it, bin them.

Cracks at the nipples can't be repaired.  I would not throw them away though unless the hubs are stuffed as well.

Make a nice side table from them...

They will have to go to roller duty or be binned.

 

Cracks can't be repaired you will have to change the rim, which is in any case a rather costly venture. As campagnolo rims are special in spoke count ans spacing you will most likely have to change them by exactly the same rim. These are hard to come by and even if you get hold of one gonna be a costly affair. Taking into account that there will be some wear and tear on the hub better to replace by another wheel.
