Finally riding a big boys bike
The wasp is on the right with the display rims off of the Century Marathon, left.
Here’s the front rim as found....
This is the front rim from the Wasp after a scrubbing and soak in hot water followed by an afternoon spent between two truck tool boxes in the 100 degree Texas heat. This was just a half hearted attempt to get it in the ball park.
Here’s another redneck straightening method working on the rear rim which was even more potato chipped than the front. A freak rain anomaly required that I back up into the barn momentarily. Barely visible up front is a red squirrel cage fan providing air circulation.
