I have a Campy rim made of Aluminum. The rim was originally joined
together by way of a metal sleeve which slots together both ends and is
glued together making the hoop. About a year ago I hit a pot hole and
the rim split apart at this metal sleeve. The metal sleeve is
irreparable, but the rim is still good. I was wondering if it's
feasible to have a welder weld the rim seam together and have the weld
ground down smooth and flat to the braking surface. Can this be done
and would this wheel be safe to ride on?
