Wernervdmerwe Posted February 16, 2009 Share I borrowed a set of wheels to a mate of mine to try out the tires. Due to a very unfortunate flow of circumstances, he came of the bike at speed. I am taking him to the orthopedic surgeon tomorrow to get op dates etc. (The ligaments between the collar bones tore, and has to be surgically replaced! ) Can I fix the rim, or should I just replace that?

Flea Posted February 16, 2009 Share Had a wheel like that on Epic - got it strightened enough to carry on riding, but even after a visit to the LBS, it is still not totally straight. Gets the wobbles if you try to ride with no hands - better to replace....Sorry to bring the topic back to the point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagwil Posted February 16, 2009 Share Throw it away and buy a new one. Don't worry I did see the (quote) usage of "borrowed" instead of "lent". (quote)(jmaccelari) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johan Bornman Posted February 16, 2009 Share The rim is toast but the wheel can be rebuilt using the exact same rim again. That way you'll save on spokes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can they rebuild using same hub and spokes on new rim, or same hub, spokes and rim? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
