    Default Can this Rim be repaired?

    Cracked spoke on a buddyclub p1

    Would bring it to Calgary Wheel Repair in northeast. But they won't fix certain rims due to laws and fun stuff. Think this can be repaired?



    Getting set of 4 for next to nothing, 3 are good, the one is only one that isn't. Might as well grab them if it's repairable. How much $$ for repair if it is?

    It could be fixed however a repair like that will be quite costly and may not look perfect. I would honestly recommend against such a repair and suggest simply offering a slightly lower price and purchasing one new wheel from the manufacturer if possible. Just an idea.

    As far as I know spokes that are broken in half cannot be fixed.

    I called Alberta Wheel and Repair, they need to take a look first and I got to buy them and take em in, seems like a waste of money if it can't be fixed. If I order another of the same it's close to 400-500 bucks, almost double that I'm getting for the 3 of them haha. But yeah maybe i'll bow out, Rim's might not show damage but could have some underlying. Thanks

    Toss it in the garbage. It's not repairable.
