Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Pinterest Bluesky Threads Chip near the inner part of my rim, I sanded it down and put duct tape over it.. you think it’s okay? by Thick_Bird_9321 Bicycling Bike Bike Repair Biking Cycling Repair
Itsumishi on April 4, 2024 11:46 pm I’d remove the tape. I can only see that causing issues with the bead seating properly. That part of the rim should only be contacting the tire bead which is heavily reinforced so I can’t see this causing any issues.

Ill_Initiative8574 on April 5, 2024 1:26 am I’d throw some epoxy in that hole and sand it flush. At that point I’d ride it without fear.
