A steel rim

NeilM · Nov 9, 2013

I need to remove a freewheel from a hub, so I'm looking for a steel rim, either 27" or 700c, it does not matter.

It does not need to be good or shiny, just complete and robust so that I can fit it temporarily to the hub.

If you are in the South West, West Mids, South or West Wales I can pick up during the day.

Anything considered.

Thanks.

I got loads of rims - but I'm a bit far away!

Why steel, surely any rim, any size, would do?

I just thought an old steel rim would be easy to get hold of and strong, so less likely to turn itself into a figure of eight when the pressure goes on.

As far as size, I guess an old mtb rim would also do.

I am quite happy to pay for the rim and postage, as at present I have a nice hub, a cream crackered freewheel and no way of parting one from t'other.

Go to your local tip. Surely cheaper and quicker than here.
