Alloy repairs

[jotacole]

Hi
    Just seen a rear alloy wheel on eBay. Which is damage round the inner tube valve hole. Does anyone know who could repair this in the UK?

                    Thanks Russ

My laser welder could probably do it, no mess, no distortion.  In Germany though...

I guess any alloy wheel repairer could do it. Welding of aluminium alloy rims is nothing new.

I had two cracks in the wheel hub repaired by Motoliner, in Maidstone Kent, they did an invisible weld repair.

They are bike people and understand 'our' needs.

Local car alloy repairs didn't want to know.

Forged Alu-Wheels like Pistons have Silicon - You really can't Fix them by Welding.
