new member stumcgoo, from scotland sent me a pm regarding making a 50mm rim without tig/mig welding the 2 rims together.
we had discussed the possibility over some beers at 12.30pm in cherreuix.
i thought it would be a good little project to put a piece of rim together and see what it takes to take apart.
i trimmed most of the lip of 2 bits of rimand connected them by riveting some 3mm strips across the join. I would plan on putting 1 between each spoke . .


on the faces to be joined I roughed the surface with the wirebrush then put a thin layer of polyester resin/cotton flock, then layed on a layer of 25mm tape and a layer of 50mm tape to each side with just resin.
when its cured for a few days I plan to clamp 1 edge then hang weight off it until it breaks
