Morning... Have one flat spot on an otherwise perfectly good(enough) Weinmann concave front wheel. It's off a c.1983 Raleigh Quasar, so have a matching black pair with Malliard hubs and a 6-speed helio-thingy freewheel.
Must have been quite a kerb-stop to make the dent, but was wondering if anyone had one of those tools that you put in between the hub and the rim and them 'untighten' to push the flat area back out?
Have seen the tool on google-searches but a. they're as rare as and b. all my LBS's tell me not to bother / they don't have one.
Would like to save the wheel set and get it back on the bike. Have advertised to find another wheel but again, no luck...
