Full Version: Graphite tuff repair?

Hi all

a while back I posted to say how chuffed I was at getting a set of graphite tuffs - 1 of which was a team spec. Well to cut a long story short i guess I never looked at them thoroughly until the other day and, well, the front has a crack in one spoke. Obviously I'm kinda gutted as I intended to use them rather than just look at them but from a practical point of view is there any sort of worthwhile repair I can do myself?

cheers

graeme
hey orb thanks for the reply there, the guy who sold the wheels to liviboy is insisting that he did not know they were cracked. he is a liar

Hi Retro - yeh its Steve, hows you?

All: I'm currently trying to resolve this situation and I'll let you know what happens.

Jerry: no I won't be selling them again if they stay with me!

I'm good Steve, can also vouch for Graeme as well - would trust him 100%.

He is also the guy I mentioned to you in regard to the chroming of your t/a.

Send me an email so I know where you got the graphs from.
