Disk Wheel Advice??

Postby Snoop Doug » Fri Oct 09, 2009 3:13 pm

Picked up a request for help on the ACC hotmail. Ed T asks:

[quote]I have been kindly given a second hand carbon fibre disc wheel. The wheel has sustained some minor damage to the carbon fibre around the valve area of the wheel. Do you know where / whom it owuld be best to take the wheel to for repair ?

The wheel doesnlt appear to have any distintive or identifying brand / manufacturer label or markings which does make things slightly more tricky.


I have a 2nd hand Corima disk which I've yet to race on and I see it too has some wear n tear. I'm inclised to leave well alone in my case - but has anyone got any tips??

Cheers - Snoop

Took my bora into Geoffrey Butlers to be fixed after cracking the rim. Believe they use [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Burrows]Mike Burrows[/url], the guy who manufactured Chris Boardman's Lotus. Came back as good as new and not too expensive.
