Cracked rim can it be fixed?

[parkerbink]

Hit a "smart boulder" that chased me across four lanes of road.

Wheel gurus do you think this can be fixed? Place I got them from fixes, refinishes rims says they have a heli-arc & can fix all but the worst cracks.






Discount tire says the damage to the tire is cosmetic, what do you think?

get some duct tape and jb weld and youll be set..........

Easily fixable wheel. Can't tell the condition of the tire without seeing it in person, but it doesn't look too bad.

Its not losing air, I did not know I hit it in back until they removed the front one & said it was bent at the hub so went to put this one in front & said it could hurt the tire if left on in this condition.

Thanks

If you peel the tire back, can you see strands of thread? If so, it's trashed. If not you could be ok. Can't guarantee w/o seeing it in person.

No matter how hard I push at it I cannot see anything but sidewall, it has lost no air.

It is a -600 mile RE960 Pole position, I hope it is fine. I'll know after I talk to the adjuster if I am dealing with it out of pocket or filing a claim at which point it will come off the rim and I'll know what is going on inside.

Thanks

Tire is off, rim is being fixed. Looks like I got lucky tire wise.

[parkerbink]

Rim is fixed, glad it cracked in back.


Tire looks ok too.

Now on to the the front one that is bent at the hub.

how much did that cost ya? I need to have a wheel repaired. I bought it that way, but sure makes a set cheaper ;)

90.00. These guys refurbish rims, I got the set from them for 100.00 per rim. They quote 60-90 depending on the damage.
