bending hub flanges back?

<< < (2/2)

Sasha:
Do NOT bend aluminium back. It will break.

JohnW:
I had a Profile Mini on a wheel that a skateboard rolled into the spokes of. Ripped 2 holes straight out of the flange. Hub had never seen a grind and Profile wanted me to ship it to them, pay $55 for a new shell, and pay return shipping. Profile flanges are weak as hell.

meathead:
managed to get it to a ..... usable state? turns out  where the spokes have bedded into the hub i need to lace it in a certain way if that makes sense
