Rimming!
« on: December 03, 2008, 02:42 PM »
I have an off round pair of 7B rims that also have some flat spots and side walls pushed in too, can anyone tell me if they know of any rim meisters who could help bring them back nearer true?

Flat spots are very hard to fix, side walls are a lot easier as can be tapped out with a hammer and block of wood.

How bad are the flat spots?  If for show you could probably get away with it otherwise what you might need to do is build a forma from mdf or similar and work the rim round it using a mallet to get them back into shape.  Would be fiddly and hard but for 7B' would be worth it  :daumenhoch:.
