NEEDED, WTB: Back wheel/rim with or w/o tire 81 CB650 Custom

Postby jakesonit » Mon Jun 20, 2011 12:55 pm

At each of the 5 meeting points of my spokes, where they taper down to the bolts, there is a crack at each vertice, on both sides. This is a total of 10 cracks at all of my main holding and pressure points. This is not good. I need a new back rim STAT and since my back tire isn't in the most awesome condition I suppose I could ask this as well, just to have a spare. Please feel free to send me an email, and I also check this every weekday.

What would you be willing to let one go for? Does it have the tire with it? I would rather go with speed than anything, so if I can get it from you for a good price, I would rather that. This is a serious issue that needs immediate attention in my eyes.

Thanks for noticing!

This is the crack I am referring to. Please view and tell me if you agree that this indeed is not a crack, but actually two spokes layered over one another. it is much more telling on the front rim than the back rim, but I snapped a photo of the back rim.

This is the "crack" I am talking about. After close inspection, and noticing it is at every single vertice on both sides on both front and back rims!! I am assuming this is the correct structure, as one spoke overlaps the next and the nut is put over them. The speration isn't a crack but actually a seperation of two peices stacked on top of one another.

Exactly! :D
Never heard of real problems with the comstars. Heavy and sturdy stuff.
