Trueing Z-rims??

(1/3) > >>

WINI:
Hi all,

I have a set of pretty knackered Z-rims that I am despoking and rebuilding.  The front is fairly warped, but I'm assuming the old 80's tale of sticking them in the freezer is a load of b*llocks.  Is there any way I can get this wheel somewhere back to straight before I start bleaching etc?

Any help gratefully accepted

Cheers
Mark

When you build it you can straighten it with the spoke tension. :daumenhoch:

Nice one matey!  Dont know if I've the patience to lace em myself, might have to take em down the LBS and see what the costs are once I have some new hubs and the rims are clean again.   :daumenhoch: :daumenhoch:
