Ash-Trials Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 If its buckling very easily then i say just hold out for a bit and buy a new one.Ash~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilikeriding Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 get a spoke key and do it yourself its so easy, just tighten the spokes on the opposite side to the bendIt might just be that youre really harsh, but you cant go wrong with a brand new echo 07 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.trial_dude Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 Hi,If it keeps buckling and denting i would get a new rim,but if you don't have enough money for it, you can :*getting it unbuckled professionally, you still have the chance that the next week or so ,you dent it again.*Get i a brand new rim and let it lace by Tartybikes.( or any other bike shop)*Look for a cheaper rim or even a wheel , in the For sale section.

basher Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 more than likely you have a shit wheel build, as i built a viz rim up for kyle hinchcliff and he ran that for yonks useing grinds and was doing big gaps and drop gaps and he had no problems with it.
