How bad can a rim be before you can't straight it?
« on: October 17, 2009, 08:13 PM »
Ok I bought 2 rims from eviel bay for £3.20! One is straight the other is not! What do you think will it pull back with build or do I do something else to it first?
Thanks in advance!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe if I land hard?( which is pretty likely!) It will improve?

 :) I had an alloy rim like that a while back was NOS,but had been bent in storage).I stuck it on the patio and stuck 3 big flat paving stones on top.When I had the wheel built up,it came out fine.

 Yep,but be careful you don`t overdo it or the rim will die! I added 1 slab at a time and left them for a few days...

The best way to see if it's totally fooked is to hold the rim against your stomach with your elbows and forearms on the rim and with both hands holding the rim oppsite your stomache pull it upwards, if it's fooked it will "spring" back  :daumenhoch:
