7X/Proclass Wheel Rim straightening. Finished Resto Pics Added 26/7/10

(1/7) > >>

animal:
Bought a pair of Proclass wheels recently as below . But they had some really bad flats and damage 2 sides of rims.





Got me thinking of ways 2 remedy this  :-\ Got my brain round it and made some tools up  ;) A press 4 straightening the flats in the rims and an anvil 4 sorting out the deformed and bulging sidewalls.

this is the press fitted in the vice in action  ;D





The anvil



And with rim in situ during hammering session  :D







All worked well cos when I wanted 2 show Simon (Cupid Stunt) the results I could barely make out where I had repaired them  8)

 Finished these yesterday all trued up  :D Used the old spokes just cleaned them up , new Nips , polished rims after hours of flatting  :tickedoff:  and cleaned up the hubs. Lovely Jubbly  :smitten:
