Badly Drilled Out Rim

Posted on
  • I just bought a beater (unseen and cheap)and was delighted to find it has a pair of mavic module e's on it.
    The only trouble is that the valve hole on the rear one has been badly drilled out (ie not central) probably to fit a schraeder valve (bastards!)
    Does anyone have any knowledge or experience of repairing such a travesty?
    TIA

  • you can get a plug
    to addapt the hole for which ever valve you want

  • you can get a little grommet that will fill/re-size the hole
