I have a RBW standard wheel with a Velocity Atlas rim 36 hole, laced to a Velocity sport front hub. I was loading my bike in the bike rack this summer and it fell over with the front rim stick in the bike rack. It was bent pretty bad. I have tried to true it up by adjusting spokes, but to straighten it, I end up with a radial wowie in the wheel because I have to pull one side so tight.
My question: My next try is to take the whole thing apart, put the rim on a flat wooden work surface and beet it back to shape with a rubber mallet. The re-lace the wheel back together. Someone please stop me if this is a bad idea. The wheel doesn't have any obvious kinks or dents. I built up a wheel with a dyno hub a few months ago, so this wheel is simply a spare. Anyone want to buy it? Scott -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
