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

Seriously? That would be fantastic mate, I'm sure I could bung you a few notes as a sweetener! Will be a while yet as I've want to get hold of some new hubs (unless the old ones clean up well enough). I would have a go myself but I'm supposed to be rennovating my house and just cant spare the hours and the neighbours will moan at my language ;D
I love you guys who I've never met.... :daumenhoch: :smitten:

Just for old time sake put em in the freezer and see what happens. I've always wanted to know.

I did it BITD - all that happens is the stuff you took out of the freezer to fit in the Z/Mag into the freezer defrosts, and your mum belts you.

I had to take mine into the bike shop, he charged £30 for em, after I had a go they looked like something off the Flintstones :-[
