tim_in_colorado Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 I found a small little crack in my rear rim today when washing my bike. Here's a link to a photo. It's hard to see. http://tinypic.com/view/?pic=4iczhxv The rim is also bent where it cracked. It this an easy fix? Will it get worse? I've got to imagine that a new rim isn't cheap! The bike is a 2001 GG 321 Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel dabster Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 it is where the wheel is welded to join it and make it round! you could have it repaired or buy a new rim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee harris Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 i have successfully rewelded rims worse than that. i have also had wheels collapse (not nice) with no cracks. I would get a new on if you are into anything harder than riding round your backyard lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ham2 Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 I found a small little crack in my rear rim today when washing my bike. Is this not a lubrication question?? But seriously,. I'm sure I had the same problem years ago and I got it brazed from the inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
