My long term goal is now set to upgrade my frame to a disc braker. Therefore I wanted to spend as little as possible on fixing this.
Rebuild was quoted at £160 by the original wheel builder incl shipping 2 ways.
After doing some research I decided to have a go at swapping the rim.
Like for like Kinlin 48h rim £40 plus a spoke key and replacement rim tape. I decided to recycle the spokes and the nipples. Time will tell if that was a good decision.
I loosened all of the nipples gradually down to a couple of threads and then taped the 2 rims together.
One by one swapped each spoke and nipple.
