  • New rims time for the pink bike.
    I've been fitting new tyres this morning, utter bastards to get on, and in the process (due to my herculean strength) I've managed to fold the sidewall of the rim on both sides, so essentially my rear wheel is fucked!
    For now it'll have to be black rims, as that's all I can find in stock anywhere currently.
    Maybe I should stop tinkering, and do more riding.

  • I've managed to fold the sidewall of the rim on both sides

    Just hammer it back in place, with brute force.

  • Really? Will it not weaken the rim?

    Edit: to be honest, it's a bit of a mess, and I wouldn't trust it, I'd always be worrying about it rather than enjoying the ride.
