dirty-boi Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 It depends on what you mean by buckled.If its like a banana then bin it.Other wise, strip the rim from the spokes and put it in the freezer.Ive never tried it with a girthy rim but it usually works well on bmx rims and will quite often pull quite a lot of tow out.Make sure its not fractured before you try.If its fractured also "bin it".Oh and pump those tyres up!

JackC123 Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 True it?And before you true it, you should let down the tyre (less pressure on the spokes/rim), you can even witness it changes becuase next time you let down the tyre then pump it up sometimes the wheel needs trueing again.

jakejp94@hotmail.co.uk Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Where the wheel is buckled use a spoke key to tighten it and the rim should pull back in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackC123 Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Where the wheel is buckled use a spoke key to tighten it and the rim should pull back in.You have too loosen the oposite spoke though, as it is just putting alot of tension on the other side.
