Been a while since I've posted anything so I hope you all don't mind me jumping straight in and asking a techie question.
I've inherited a rear spin trispoke and on closer inspection I've found why it was free – thre's a vertical crack running through the aluminium part of the rim (thought it was the join initially but then I found that on the other side of the wheel), in addition to this are some radial splits on one side of the alloy that look a bit like the brakes have worn their way through over time – basically it's all a bit buggered.
My question is has anyone had any success with replacing the alloy bit of the rim? – I found references to this having been possible when spin was still trading, but nothing recent.
