Morning all,
I had a nightmare day on Saturday. Cycling in from West to play footie at vicky park, I catch a flat at Liverpool street. I changed the inner tube, continued and three minutes later the same thing has happened. Checked the rim and found that at the point where the two "ends" of the rim meet, one side is indented by a mil or two, leaving an edge to catch the tyre and puncture I think.
I run Velocity on rims, fyi.
Does anyone know if this can be fixed with some elbow grease and tlc, or if the structure of the wheel is now compromised. I will try to get a photo of the damage if that helps. Just want to know if i can resue it, or whether its time to build a new wheel. I was thinking of geting some plyers and trying to straighten it out???????
Thanks all...
