What a bummer! I got 160 X 21 aluminum rims at a motor cycle junk yard in N Carolina 3 or4 years ago. They look like the new rims on Frank Pavliga's ship and alsothe wheels on Will Graff's Piet. Lately I have been working on them tryingto figure out the spoke pattern and such and deciding if I will lace themmyself or just send them to Buchanan's.Any way I found that one has a crack about 1/2" at the weld. Looked at theother rim and it is cracked on both sides, at the weld.Do all aluminum rims get this way and just continue to get used?orCan they be welded?or Are these things junk?Thanks,Skip --- Skip + Cinda Gadd--- csfog(at)earthlink.net________________________________________________________________________________Date: Sun, 26 Jan 2003 07:44:20 -0800 (PST)
