Feeler: Rim repair day at A1?

[awl18]

I've been speaking with Jason Irby of United Wheel Techs regarding doing repairs for some wheels for myself and my girlfriend. I wanted to ask if there were any A1 regulars who would be interested in this.

I suppose if enough people are interested and can confirm that they will be there, I can ask Jason to do a Saturday wheel repair day at A1.

Let me know and I'll try to schedule.

PS - This will probably have to be in late October, as I need to take care of some things before I can attend to scheduling this.

Yup....something did happen to one of them. One of the spokes got some light damage. Something got knocked into it (like a big rock) and chipped off some of the finish. It's about the size of a quarter.

From a distance, it looks like a bird sh!t stain, but upon closer inspection, you'll find what I described above. I'm majorly pissed, as I didn't even get to enjoy them for a full week; but nothing I can do about it...except to get it refinished.

[awl18]

For those of you interested, can you let me know the number of rims you need refinished? Thanks!

all 4

[ianlionzion]

I'd be interested, have rashes on all 4.

[Spam-N-Rice ETR]

all 4 rims have minor curb rash on them. Do you think it would be worth it to repair them if 2 of the rims have minor, minor bends (almost unnoticeable) on the lip?

[pismojeff]

Does he fix bends?

What kind of bend? Is the lip of the rim bent or is the rim itself bent?

I'll have to call to find out.

[pismojeff]

the rim itself

[agravic 2.0]

i have 3 rims for sure. if its cheap enough, i'll fix the 4th. bascially the flat rate works best on the one rim with alot of rashes. ;)

Hi ,

I hope to give United Wheel Techs a rim count to see if we can get a price break. Right now, they charge $90/rim -- they refinish the entire rim.

Thanks!

My apologies to all who replied to this thread with interest in a possible rim repair day at A1.

I was unable to schedule this for late October due to a hectic schedule. If you are still interested in this, please let me know. I'll see about possibly scheduling this for early December.

Thanks!

Seeing as though I messed up my wheels I am down. $90 is kind of steep but I have to get them fixed

How'd you mess them up?
