BradJohnson Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 I have just had a rim grind because my rim was smooth and within a few hours. It was smooth again what's wrong are my fims made from metal that's too soft ? Will I need a deeper grind or should I buy a new rim Thanks.

onza1 Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 The grind might not be deep enough ! Do you run a tensioner on the phase ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pezza p Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 Best bet is to get a new rim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew62 Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 Why is it? HIs technique might be shit. Why spend a bunch on a new rim and wheel build for it to potentially happen again. Kid, if you wants people to help provide some god damn info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
