Alex Posted October 10, 2001 Share Posted October 10, 2001 Supposing I was able to change the hub of my split rims to a hub with the correct offset for large brakes what is involoved in changing a 2 piece split rim? Preparation/Tools & equipment/labour time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digsy Posted October 10, 2001 Share Posted October 10, 2001 No-one talking to you, Alex?? ;-) This is a stab in the dark, but I would assume you would need... For dissassembly: Tyres off. The right sized driver for the rim screws. Possibly something to help release them if they are threadlocked in. A tap to clean out the rim screw threads. Some kind of surface cleaner to remove the old rim sealant. For assembly: A decent rim sealant (see Ash's thread for more details). Surface activator for said sealant, if required. The correct tightening torque / sequence for the rim screws. Threadlock for rim screws, if required. Some spare screws in case any got damaged during dissassembly. The data sheet for the sealant / threadlock so you know the skinover / cure times. Tyres on. Inflate & balance. Did I miss anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted October 11, 2001 Author Share Posted October 11, 2001 That's fairly comprehensive.... Cheers Darren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Booth Posted October 11, 2001 Share Posted October 11, 2001 Quote: from Darren Blake on 11:36 pm on Oct. 10, 2001[br] Did I miss anything? Yup! How to get rid of the scratches you put in the rim face when the screws are tight and you slip and the tool skids across the face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digsy Posted October 11, 2001 Share Posted October 11, 2001 Its also a bit of a guess. Might seems a tad over the top, but then again - these are wheels we are talking about. Don't want them to revert back to their component parts again halfway around a corner!! Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
