Gday all, while changing oil and giving bike once over noticed a crack in the rear rim of my crf450x. I'm hoping someone can suggest where I can get a new rim/wheel at short notice as i was riding/camping starting thurs. Tried ringing round today but no luck, all closed.
Cheers.
Post a photo up of it, we'll tell you if we think it will stop you riding in the short term.
My front rim has cracks (3-5mm) starting between the spokes and heading towards the next spoke, from running very low pressures. One day they will meet up but I'll make sure the rim is replaced before then. I've been keeping an eye on it for the past 6 months and I've done a desert ride weekend, Al's 2 day and the First Class weekend at Abbeyard with the cracks in the rim.
