Re: Bent KH hub flanges

nimblelight said:

so to summarize the above posts, bending metal makes it harder and more
brittle, though bending against a previous bend may create small cracks
that ultimately weaken the metal

unless you're forging something, of course

And now moving away from the fact my hub is all bent, do you think that
it is going to be worth lacing up a wheel knowing there is that tear in
the flange and that in a few places the flange is coming away from the
axle, at the worse point the weld joining the hub and flange is
cracked/split?
