Hi guys, I'd be grateful of a little advice. At Maylandsea a couple of weeks ago I had a freak occurrence. Brake pedal came loose and momentarily wedged itself between the swing arm and rear hub. Hub came off worse with the flange that holds the spokes being smashed. pic 2. I guess I was lucky to get back in without the back wheel collapsing - I thought I had just being clipped from behind by another rider so carried on to the end of the race.
Asking around the paddock, the jury was out as to whether this is repairable ( or cost effective to repair) and who would have the expertise / willingness to have a go. Your thoughts appreciated.
I do have another rear wheel but the brake lining has a chunk broken off. pic 1. So again, is this worth the cost of repair, given the spokes and rim would also need replacing ( or swapping from the original wheel). I've drawn a blank trying to find someone who can replace this lining so if anyone can recommend where I might get this done, I'd be grateful
Or the easier option, does anyone have a spare griffon rear wheel or hub they would be willing to part with?
Cheers in advance,
Paul
