not having much success trying to straighten BMX Mag wheel....it's warped enough to hit the brake blocks when spinning but opening the brake a bit comprimises the pull, any suggestions? please don't come up with the old chestnut of putting the wheel in a freezer it just doesn't work!

the only thing you can do in my experience is have it in the frame a just smack it alot with a rubber mallet
maybe a little heat from a blow torch may help a little? but dont hold me to that

Not sure its possible, but might be worth taking a look/asking the same question on here:

dicki

what type of mag wheel ?

skyways i believe could be put in the freezer never tried it myself
but there are quite a few cheap replicas pirahna wheels made of cast iron that probably wouldn't flex back to correct shape

dicki

buy my skyways
so that when you tweak / warp them next time you'll be able to put them in the fridge and straighten them

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
