Hey guys and girls, 74,000 miles into our RTW trip (85000 total miles) and found this crack in the rim this morning. I could have been there for some time, I dunno. So looking for the best way to fix it - it could be welded I think but I'm in Morocco now and heading east to Turkey/Iran/Pakistan soon, so whatever I do to fix, I want it to be reliable. Maybe welding would work, but what if this is just the first of a number of stress fractures, and this keeps happening?
Probably a new rim is the way to go - but considering my location, it might be difficult to find something. Heading back to France in a few weeks. I guess it has to be a new rim... what are my options? Checking with Woody, but I know he's not cheap and I have to factor in shipping. Maybe try to find a second-hand wheel?
Tabasco... I probably have to get this welded as a short-term fix, any tips?
