rip z rim :'(

i'd have a go at fixing that..not to be ridden on though...ill have them if your going to chuck them

Badbaldie:
that zds had it mate  :'(  and as the ruler says u should have taken the free wheel of before you cut the spokes .....

Peter J:
If you try and straighten that front hub you'll run the risk of fracturing or stressing the metal unless you relief the metal first with heat.....but it takes practice doing it on thin alloy

And that sprocket is going to be a sod to remove on a high flange Hub.................unless you have the tools  :coolsmiley:

If you want a hand LMK  :daumenhoch:

oldskooldayz:
Truly gutted about the rim being split and i would love to fix it but i will just keep my eyes open for a spare one

as for the freewheel i will get it off as a mate of mine has a handy little vice type clamp and has done it before
i was just being mega lazy as usual

how much does a split z rim sell for then  :LolLolLolLol:

A freewheel remover is a great purchase, and they are very cheap.
First you will need to build the hub into a wheel though. Thankfully it's a high flange hub and you can get the spokes past the freewheel though.

Don't have to go nuts getting all the spokes tight though, a slack build will do to hold the hub still while you wind of the freewheel.

If you dont have a freewheel tool, and the freewheel is expendable, just crush it in a vice and turn the hub off it.
Still need to build up the wheel though!
The hubs are soft, so vicing the hub could squish it.
