Here’s a perfect example of the argument for ISO sizing: my neighbour has brought me a wheel that is labeled as 24x1.75 - there are two ISO designations for that size, 520 and 521. Anyway, it’s in rough shape and I’m wondering whether it can be saved. Doesn’t seem to have any dents or cracks, just extreme wobblies. Would it be best to start from anew and build up from there or try and straighten without disassembly? Using the original rim, just to be clear.
