Just got a new set of Newmen wheels and there is something ( small and metal) in the rim cavity. Rolls freely when the wheel turns.
Whats best way to get it out? Don’t want to leave I as it’s annoying, but don’t want to send them back.
Ta.
Can you see it though the valve hole? Use tweezers, or magnet if steel, to get it out?
fill the rim up with glue until the rattle stops
Could be a spoke nipple - easyvto drop one on whilat building the wheel. I got 2 in my first wheel. Spent quite a lot of time faffing - I hung the wheel up on rope with the valve hole at the bottom and spent a while fishing them out. If it’s alloy nipples the magnet won’t work - and I don’t think brass nipples are very magnetic either.
fill the rim up with glue until the rattle stops
Use expanding foam and claim you have new Vibrocore rims?
Filling them with glue/foam is starting to seem like a good idea. Grrr........
is it an alloy rim ?
Phew. Got it. A flake of solder from the looks of it.
Thanks for the help and the piss taking. Both helped.
