    De Badged!

  • I sold a wheel with a much smaller dent than that and included 2 photos of the dented area and highlighted it in the listing. That is very poor eBaying if not even mentioning the dent.

  • The only thing id actually worry about is the dented inside edge cutting the side wall of your tyre... id remove any sharp edges with a bit of sand paper.

    +1 after a bad day on the bike.... I've achieved worse

  • Bad packaging? :(

    If you don't use a rear brake, it can be fixed, use dome small adjustable spanner the file+sandpaper

  • Thanks for replies. I've decided to keep and try and remove dent (well Mr. whitehel will be doing that bit), and give the chap some constructive feedback...

  • I have ridden a rim the same and even bent back myself with a spanner but I was always a bit concerned as I though alu alloys were not strong in flexible properties, i.e then just snap rather than bend!

  • if the rim has brake surface, it shouldn't be a problem, once that the brake surface star wear out, keep an eye

  • No way is that 'good condition' ! I'd be pretty pissed off if I had bought that wheel.

    Would I trust that wheel on a fast descent ? No.............

    It'll probably last years, but thats a shit interpretation of 'good condition' !

  • I wouldn't have that, obviously not mentioned to increase the price. Would return it and make him refund your postage. Probably post him a shit in a bag separately too.

    Just tap it out with a hammer, and take heed from the father ted clip.

  • adjustable spanner, and bend it back
    simples

    Seems reasonable !

  • I would not ride it

  • I would not ride it

    You pondered that for >2 years?
