September 21, 20187 yr Out of interest SW, what rim tape did you use originally? I'm puzzled about how the sealant had got behind it.
September 21, 20187 yr Author none as there is only one hole for the valve, it has got behind the valve and in to the cavity and eaten it away from the inside.
September 21, 20187 yr Author [ATTACH=full]26858[/ATTACH] Mmm I might clean my rims out and try something else you should have 2 year warranty on the wheels but id not have that crap in my rims seeing the damage it can do. the only thing i have never touched on my bike is the valves and looked whats happens. and cb uk service center just sent this. Hi A crash repair service isn’t something which we offer on the Crank Brothers wheel range. We would be more than happy to take a look at the wheel set and look into swapping the rim over for you but as it is outside of warranty it would be a chargeable repair. Once we have the wheels here and have inspected which parts need replacing we can then look into getting it repaired. For any more details let us know and we will be happy to help. Kind regards Customer Service Team tel: 01933 672170 www.extrauk.co.uk www.facebook.com/ExtraUK so it looks like it wont be cost effective to have the rims replaced as it will cost way more than there worth. and as there is no crash repair cb wheels are now not a option.
September 21, 20187 yr It’s got to come out then It will be tubes for now till I figure out a safe option for alloy .

September 21, 20187 yr Seems good options there Soundwave and checked today and muc off is also ammonia free sealant BTW I much prefer the mavics Edited September 21, 20187 yr by Dom T
September 23, 20187 yr Author well that was like raising the fkn titanic but i got it up and sealed only a temp bodge tho until i can get a new wheel set 2 new tyres and a boost pump. bar frame motor sus and brakes everything has been changed from stock lol Edited September 23, 20187 yr by soundwave
September 24, 20187 yr I've been using stans seal for near 8 years now on three different bikes and no issue. I think this is just bad luck . Saying that, on rare occasions i'll strip the tyre off, check tape etc. I always use stans rim tape and double over valve area, taking time when putting tape on to ensure no air bubbles.
September 24, 20187 yr Author i never had rim tape and never really cleaned them out and just added more sealant when needed. it took 4 years to cause the damage but it did not say to use rim tape with the rims i have as only 1 hole for the valve. the mavics are the same but ill tape the valve hole just in case. i can get a rim for £115 +pp+ £40 to build them up but it will cost more than there worth!.
September 24, 20187 yr Author well got a reply Can you provide pictures of the issue? Thanks, Shawn VanEtten Sales Coordinator-International & OEM Stan's NoTubes 202 Daniel Zenker Dr Big Flats, NY 14814 607-562-2877 x 215
September 25, 20187 yr Author Hi Even with a sealed rim, we still suggest using tape on all rims to protect it. A small chip in the rim anodizing or paint exposing bare metal will cause corrosion with any liquid. Unfortunately there isn't anything I can do here as it isn't our rim. Please reach out to Crank Brothers regarding this warranty. Thanks, Shawn VanEtten Sales Coordinator-International & OEM Stan's NoTubes 202 Daniel Zenker Dr Big Flats, NY 14814 607-562-2877 x 215 non corrosive my ass he even said so why it say that on every bottle pmsl.
October 5, 20187 yr Author yodel left them in the fkn front garden! Edited October 5, 20187 yr by soundwave
October 5, 20187 yr Yodel , when it comes to home delivery they are SHE-ITE. They don't give a monkeys f**k about the parcel value or contents, just bung emby the door or close and sign the pda themselves with a scribble.
October 5, 20187 yr Author tbh it has put me right off using chain reaction esp for expensive items as anyone could have nicked them bloody good job we got cctv but still a piss poor service and to be expected.
October 5, 20187 yr Agree with you 100% Neal, I always dread seeing a Yodel tracking no. on anything I've bought. Most of the cheaper couriers get a bad rep, but Yodel are def. the worst. I can't understand why any company would use them. They must offer a good deal to regular business users. Still, glad you got yer new wheels SW:)
October 5, 20187 yr Author now i wonder what would happen if i use no rim tape and just filled it with stans corrosive notubes:eek:
October 12, 20187 yr Author Hello Thanks for your patience. From the images supplied our colleagues are happy that the finish is normal on the rim bed. It is where the rim is held during the manufacturing process and as its an alloy it will not oxidise easily. When using a tubeless tyre with sealant it is recommended that the sealant be replaced regularly, this is usually stated by the sealant manufacturer on the bottle, and at this time the old sealant should be removed and the internal rim and tyre cleaned off before adding the new sealant. I hope that this helps and please let us know if there is anything we can help with or if you have any further questions. Regards, Ben Mavic Customer Care www.mavic.com
October 13, 20187 yr Author mary front ultra soft,hans rear soft snakeskin addix super gravity and there going to be a right pita to fit as the side walls are so thick
October 14, 20187 yr Must admit I'm enjoying the minions, but a magic mary may also be on the cards up front.
October 15, 20187 yr Author well that was a fkn nightmare took 2 ppl pulling the tyre and me also levering it on the rim so be warned these are not easy to fit at all. total cost is £948
October 15, 20187 yr there is an easier way, we nosed at youtube, but yep it's a wee bit tough. So when do these new rims, tyres and discs get a run out ?
