womble Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 Got a puncture a couple of days ago which at the time didn't bother me too much as the tyre was pretty much done anyway. What did bother me was when upon further inspection it turned out that the wheel has a small (2mm wide / 2cm deep) crack on the inner rim . Can anyone recomend a decent place that'll repair and also refurb the wheel please . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digsy Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 I hate to be the harbinger of dom but I'd say it's fooked. We had some Esprit wheels sent back to work that had flown apart on the driver and upon closer inspection they had been refurbed by welding and then powedercoated over the top. The welding had closed the crack but ruined the heat treatment in the casting, weakening it substantially. If yours is a multi-part construction then maybe the cracked bit can be replaced instead of repaired? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
