Gotta Z rim with a split, maybe an inch and a half, anyone ever tried to do a repair, it will go on a show pony, so might just try to hide ?
Cheers

Epoxy resin glue type stuff?
-
hot knife and seal the top and then sand and cover up ;)
-
I don't think it melts to form the 2 sides together, I tried it once with a heat gun and it just blistered, I would say pony only unless your prepared to really fook it up.... ;)
-
Clean the split and slide in a little epoxy and nip up with a G clamp ;)
-
Yep, might get some glue and a clamp, see if that works :daumenhoch:

Are they Nylon? Its a thermoplastic and generally the only way of bonding it is fusing it with heat. Getting the right temp to fuse and not melt though could be tricky :(
-
Send it me Nick, I have some glue at work that fuses plastics together. It dries totally clear and I inject it so less chance if damaging the rim getting enough in to bond it together. ;)

It's called 'tensol 70' if u prefer to have a go yourself. :daumenhoch:

I reckon the best way to fix it is to organise a prayer group and start praying :LolLolLolLol:
