Title: flat spots in rims......
Post by: VMX Andrew on December 29, 2007, 05:46:51 pm
has anyone had a flatspot in their rim and got it removed.if so how and bye who....some one told me to get the old rubber mallet out myself and give her the he-ho...... but id rather send it to a pro who knows what hes doin...or would it be just worth while to just replace the rim with a brand new excel rim....ive heard mike warner from brisbane is pretty good....anyone else had this sort of problem...cheers.  :)

Theres also    Ashe's Spoked Wheelz in Briz-vegas ( Albion ) 
Recommend you take it to a Motor bike tyre installer and ask if he does it  :)....then watch how it's done  ;)

I think some in SlacksCreek (Brissy) rolls rims straight(round?). Think its the engineering place that also straightens frames. Do you know the name Stew?
