Any suggestions on repairing my Mavic Ksyrium SSC SL wheels?
I was riding in a group and no one called out a "trench" in the pavement. It was long and narrow trench in asphalt, like 3" wide and 3" deep and 6 feet long. Right into it and almost went down.
Afterwards I noticed click, click, click when applying rear brake. Rear wheel has a few gouges in the braking surface, like you took a screwdriver and etched into the wheel. They are parallel to the spokes and there are "valleys" where it got scrapped and "peaks" alongside the gouges. The peaks obviously hit the brakepads and cause the noise.
What can/should I do?
Use 500 grit and then 1000 grit sandpaper or what?
Can I do myself or would LBS have abetter way to repair?
Thanks for any suggestions.
