April 8, 200818 yr Hello Just wondered if this is a record. I went to change the front tyre this morning and found 12 cracks in the edge of the rim. Granted its an 02 sherco and the tyre looks like the original but ive never seen anything as bad before,I only hope the rest of the bike is made of better stuff. Anybody know a good welder with a lot of time on his hands? Cheers Andy

Apologies bambam, but can you show us your rim or a photo of your crack? I think the rim is an aluminium-alloy extrusion so I think you'll be looking at brazing rather than welding. Let's see.
April 8, 200818 yr Take it to a proper welder. You can then grind it down to where you can hardly tell. Seems all the Spanish Morad rims are the same.

Any way just got a quote for a new rim,seems like I might have to sell the pics of my crack to pay for it.
