Can you straighten out a buckled Mag Wheel ???????????

I was just wondering as I've found a wheel that i was after but the seller says it buckled but has no cracks  ?

Sometimes - popping them in the freezer reaaaaally doesn't work.

Some peeps have had results popping them on some forks with laggy bands pulling the buckled area back in again (over a long period of time), there's a thread over at the Museum with a bloke that's designed a wooden press (in combi with some light steamage) to get em back to true.

Best bit of advice though - if you don't want to take the chance of them not straightening out, spend a few more bob and get a good pair

Good advice i think , it's a peregrine master front plus it's in the USA the guy doesn't want much but it's a gamble for sure !

If it's for a show bike, Would it really show? If it's for a rider that's a different story.
