Alouette3 Posted March 8 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will get the ball rolling. added a pic of the dent. Wonder if it is worth replacing even. That's not a dent.

Jewbacca Posted March 8 Share I'm with the others, that is a cosmetic flat spot, surely?! That still has thousands of km left in it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless it’s too wobbly and can’t be straightened with spoke tension. but I’d give those another chance . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I will as soon as they get here. Just wish they had green. Phillippe Coetzee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pieter1 Posted March 8 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSCC Posted March 8 Share 15 hours ago, Pieter1 said: Hey everyone. I managed to put a nice dent in my Spank Oozy rim. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

etienne_jordaan Posted March 9 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And now that Bob was staring at my sweet nips I have more problems 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
