Buckled ACS Z-Rim

(1/4) > >>

Kaner:
I recently bought these and 1 of them is badly buckled   :(

This photo is taken when the rim is sat flat on a level table, the gap shows the deflection   :(






Will the buckle come out when it is built up or do I need to try and straighten it first?

How the heck would I do straighten it too?   :-\

Any ideas anyone? 

Cheers Ben

Ben, I sold u this!
When you build it up it will come straight out, if this was steel or ally then you would have a problem.  I can recommend this book http://www.amazon.co.uk/Building-Bicycle-Wheels-Robert-Wright/dp/0890371067/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=12 BITD I used to build everyones wheels after getting this book when I was 13.  Try and practise on an old or fooked wheel. Any probs PM me.

RATTY:
As Toys said, that will come straight out if built properly :daumenhoch:

Swivel:
Put them in the freezer  :LolLolLolLol: :2funny:

(how many times have we heard that in the past....)

Peter J:
I've built up a few Z's and most of them have been like that if not worse, the spoke tension will true them up, no problem  :daumenhoch:

After all the rims are only plastic...
