Alouette3 Posted March 8 Posted March 8 If it's holding air, ride it😈 I did have a rear Spank rim that starting cracking and pulling through at the nipples, so they not immune, but still like the product. Replaced with a more affordable rim which I dinged 2 rides in! Straightened out, holding air and I'll ride it till its properly wrecked!

So it is settled. Will get the ball rolling. added a pic of the dent. Wonder if it is worth replacing even. That's not a dent. Robbie Stewart, PregoRoll, betaboy and 2 others 1 4
Jewbacca Posted March 8 Posted March 8 I'm with the others, that is a cosmetic flat spot, surely?! That still has thousands of km left in it!

Unless it’s too wobbly and can’t be straightened with spoke tension. but I’d give those another chance .

Pieter1 Posted March 8 Author Posted March 8 Hahaha! The lbs bent it back into “shape”. I could be a bit over dramatic 😂 Just don’t want it tacoing under me. Phillippe Coetzee 1

I’m in Brunei at the moment and Stans is the easiest to get (Flow MK3) but if the Vibrocore rims are worth it I will go through the hassle. So that is my question. Spank Vibrocore or Stans Flow MK 3? Stans MK3 are junk and Stan’s know it so they changed the design. The MK4 is very good. I prefer the Spank Vibracore rims though. The Vibracore really works to mute vibrations. I’m not mountain biking nowadays and have a Spank Vibracore Boost wheelset for sale in the classifieds.

etienne_jordaan Posted March 9 Posted March 9 You can hardly see an dent on that photo. Ride it as is, it will not do anything. You should see the dents on some of my riding buddies rims.

And now that Bob was staring at my sweet nips I have more problems 😂
