Rim Dent

[funrider243]

Hi All

 

This morning I popped my Eurus front wheel in and went for a ride... I hit front brakes during the ride and felt the breaks "catching" at a certain point. So I stopped and checked and to my SHOCK I found that the rim has a "dent" on either side.

 

Now my question.... I really love these wheels and would like to know if there is any way to have these "dents" repaired? They aren't big dents and thus I'm hoping will easily be repaired?

 

I can only imagine these dents were caused by a pothole??

 

Attached is a poor quality picture attempting to illustrate the dents.

A big pliers?

I took my rim to the LBS after hitting the wrong side of the rock and they sorted it out for me. So see if they can help

Pliers and shifting spanners have no role to play in rim fixing.

 

If you are in Jhb, contact me and I'll show you how to do it. It involves a very flat anvil, a nylon nut whacker, a ball peen hammer, a make and patience.

Thanks Johan.... When I'm up in Jhb again I will give you a call!

 

Looking forward to getting them fixed, as they are really nice wheels!
