Title: Repairing damaged rim edges
Post by: bishboy on May 23, 2013, 08:26:50 pm

I'm looking at buying a rim but it has some slight damage from tyre levers etc.  Is it a simple method of using a dremel, sandpaper etc to remove the rough edges to make it smooth?  It won't effect the "effectiveness" of the rim?

A couple of passes with a flat file should do it..
