impressive work, nice result  :daumenhoch:   Do you have any thoughts on a rim with a bad buckle ? - approx 7mm out of true in 2 places.

I do mine with my tools but it can be done by clamping it to a bench with blocks under the rim and then using another clamp push down on the effected area  ;)

I sent Steve a mashed up set of Pro Class and I have to say the workmanship to give them another (30 years) lease of life was exceptional.

Just packing up a set of 24" 7X to get the same treatment.  :daumenhoch:
