Could some one guess a price to fix this

  • A bike I want to buy has this damaged front wheel. I'm really tempted but I need to know how much this will cost to fix if I'm going to bother. Could someone please help.

    Thanks

  • Beyond reasonable repair, I suspect the rim has become detached from the wheel and the whole thing is toast. Not worth anything, in my opinion!

  • Thanks for the response.
    Is it not weldable? I haven't actually seen it in the flesh yet so I really am not sure what exactly the problem is. Any other hunches

  • I doubt it, not without fncking up the carbon. You could put a tyre on and pump it up, that will certainly close the gap, and it will be rideable, but the fact that it has moved suggests that the bond between the rim and the wheel has failed, and that has the potential to fail, and it wouldn't be funny when it goes. So it isn't worth anything!

  • Oh, it is the front wheel, so at least there'd be not power being transmitted through it.

  • there is when you apply the brakes

  • Very good point.

  • Thanks, I probably need talking out of this.

  • don't even consider buying it

  • It'll buff out.

  • How on earth was the first and only reply to this not fiddy dorrah?

    Make it so Hippy

  • If you buy this, you're a fucking idiot.

    this is all.

  • It's a version of Drillium called sawium. Buy it, cut more slots.

    When the floods come (and they will) just glue paddles into the slots and you'll be ready to go.

  • Whats the rest of the bike like, you can buy a new front wheel from a shop.

  • tyre boot?

  • LOL and ting

  • Stolen much?

  • Good buy?

  • Stolen much?

    Not today.

  • shit bike, but for that price i would buy it, sell the front wheel to some mug, then make it better.

    And id rather have a halfords tyre than that other michelin, trufax.

  • How very nice of you.

  • Thats my bike you mother fuckers! and I am from Cardiffffffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
