February 17, 201214 yr Just bought this rim and on taking the tyre off I found the below. Is it scrap or useable? (my first use of photobucket, so hopefully the pics are accessible)
February 17, 201214 yr Sorry to say its more than likely that its scrap. Get a wire wheel on a drill & start cleaning around the valve hole. If you get to solid metal straight away you should be ok to use it. You may find its all oxide with 0.5mm of solid ally holding it together. Mine was like this, i hit it with a hammer & it collapsed. Imagine that happening just as you do a nice drop off.
