wheel repair

[A100man]

Some wheels on ebay caught my eye but there seems to be a slight flat spot on one. Reparable? Costly??

Motoliner Maidstone used to do wheels as well as frames.

Slight?

I wouldn't even consider presenting that to my MOT guy because he'd just laugh at me and my bike passed without even an advisory today.

I would pass. There is a reason for the sellers all caps disclosure. He knows those wheels are dangerous and worthless.

Nice reply .
As i remember a lot of wheels of this era seemed to develop cracks even without impact damage, looks like a bit of a minefield to me.

This is not surprising. Ebay is insane currently. I sold a well-used item of ikea furniture for 75% of it's new price.
