[#2157560]

Just got some spank stiffys

having a look at them, one of the two pop rivets sits a bit proud

I know its covered by rim tape anyway, but will I be able to flatten it out a little if I'm careful?

Can't be bothered sending them back for that

[i]one of the two pop rivets[/i]

you sure they're not the ends of the spokes/nipples?

ah, I'd be careful with rivets - the last thing you want to do is give them any opportunity to 'open up' by bashing at them...

might just put a bit of something around it then to make sure there is nothing sharp poking into my tubes
