Wheels..?

Steve T. · Jun 27, 2024

Couple of questions/help etc
2020 T120- spoked chrome wheels.
Background - Damaged to the very outer edge of flange of rim - cosmetic damage - rest of rim is true! (The important bits)
1. Front wheel - welcome suggestions for repair/replacement of "rim"??
I'm seeing $C1000+ for the rim/wheel!
2. Should I even consider cast wheels as a replacement? (Sacrilege I know, but,...)
Are cast wheels available for this bike?

I'm in BC Canada.
Thanks for any ideas!

Could you post a photo of the damaged rim, it might be easier to make suggestions then.

Would it be possible for a wheel specialist to fit a replacement rim?

I'm not sure whether cast wheels are available for the T120.

Canyon wheels in CA offer cast wheels, but they ain't cheap. They also offer wire wheels I believe.
Also, a supplier called kkeracing offers tubeless spoke wheels.
Woodys wheels may be able to install new hoop on the hub. Google them.
Check Craigslist and/or ebay for used.
Good luck.

The rim is not too difficult to replace, chrome as well as stainless options exist. You would need a truing stand or have a bike shop do it for you.
