Hi all,
I'd like your esteemed advice on the fate of my rear rim. I've got a set of crossrides and I hit
rear wheel pretty hard after failing to clear a rock at speed this evening. I think it's toasted -
I've done what I can to straighten the lip, but the braking surface is pretty chewed up and there
is an inward dent that I can feel on the inner surface (ie, hub-side) of the rim. Am I correct in
assuming this means it needs replacing, or can I keep using it once I've straightened it out as
best I can?
I'm on a really tight budget at the moment but I want to get back out there as soon as possible, so
I'd like to just replace the rim if possible. Does anyone know if it's possible to get the crossride
rims seperately in the UK (I can't find any details on the Mavic site)? If not, is there a better
choice than the X517 rim to build onto the current wheel (I've seen lots of people extolling the
virtues of the X618 over the X517, but I don't think it comes in a 28h drilling)?
Thanks for your help - Adam...
