AkuskaUK Posted August 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 That's what I was thinking, how much force would it take to fold? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradJohnson Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 That's what I was thinking, how much force would it take to fold? I think it's due to too many grinds mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AkuskaUK Posted August 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 I would keep riding it but it looks dodgy! I'm scared to do anything now incase it goes bang aha, thanks for the help everyone! A new rim will be ordered soon! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Gosden Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 wow! how old is the wheel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezmtber Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 new rim time for sure, unless you do some mental welding tricks. i dont advise welding but it would be the only fix for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AkuskaUK Posted August 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 How old? That I don't know... It was bought with the bike, it is a TrialTech Sport though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winchman Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 New rims best, it could be welded but to be honest once you start welding rims they are never the same. I feel the welding would twist the wheel so it would have to trued up so it starts out as a cheap fix then costs more than a new rim.

bing Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 it's split where the join is dude. new rim time. don't even think about getting it repaired, it's not worth getting hurt for the sake of 40 quid 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
