Wheel Repairs / Crack Testing

[hortz]

Hi all.

You know how you can get block crack tested. can you do it for wheels?

I have a rather rare GP bike I'm building up and I've gotten my hands on some rather fancy wheels. But judging their history, I'd like to get them integrity tested before I powder coat them.

If you can even do it, does anyone know a company that can do it? any where in or around Sydney as I'd be happy to ship or drive them to them.

Give these guys a go; they have some amazing stuff on their FB page.

Steve is an NDT specialist, if you don't want to take a packed lunch out there, he picks up at various workshops.

If they're old magnesium ones, most of the time, safest to make them into hose reels! On the off chance they test any good, last thing you'd do is powder coat them unless the bike is a static display..

thanks. the value of the bike and its history is worth far too much to track it again.

We've found someone to do it. cheers guys.
