That rim is a bloody disgrace!  I can't believe someone would even have the cheek to ask you to try and do something with that bag of poop.

Nicely done.

I had a similar problem with a 26" araya, was buckled to fook with a bad flatspot. Spoke tightened it as straight as I could and it was still all over the place. Ended up putting it in my vice and man-handling it. Came out almost perfect, was well chuffed.
