Wheels advice required!
« on: February 25, 2006, 09:48 PM »
Can anyone give me any info on these araya rims/acs hubs wheels?...first off, are they any good?
 the front is buckled...does that mean it's ready for the bin or can it be made good again?

they were part of the deal when i bought my non-looptail ripper.
they're very very light...how do i go about truing the front wheel? is it do-able myself?

it is, but for the fiddle factor, and if you have not done it before, take it to a local bike shop and say


'oi, turdbag, true this wheel'

and they will oblige
