Looking to fix an older, vintage alloy weinmann rim that is flat spotted.
Quoted message said:
Years ago I remember a tool that clamped on the rim and worked like a gear puller to pull the flat section out. Are these still in use ? Any other tricks in use ?
There was one that sold on ebay about 3 weeks ago. A pro bike shop will have a "wire pulling" device that let you put the rim in a clamp and pull out a section of a dimpled rim. These are also useful for fixing bent steel framesets, I believe its the same tool used.
