Pacenti rim help
Hey, I have a front wheel with the OG pacenti SL23 rim. It had the common issue with rattle, and I actually corresponded with Kirk Pacenti years ago about how to fix it by "re-pinning" the sleeve by putting a skrewdriver on the pin joints and whacking it with a hammer.
I heard the tick sound again last week and tried that method again but missed just outside that sleeve and punched a hole in the inner rim. I know that is not a main support part since it has spoke holes, but I wanted to make sure it is safe until I might rebuild it. |

Anyone?

I replaced my 2 sets of SL23s with the Forza model. The new owners were giving a discount to SL23 owners. Might be worth looking into.

Intellectually speaking, I'd have no concern about its ride-ability/safety.
HOWEVER My OCD/paranoia/anxiety would get the best of me about it until I replaced it. |

It's safe. Seriously. The valve hole and nipple holes are larger and goes through the same part of the rim bed.

I think I might ride on it a bit, because as it was said, the spoke hole and valve hole are bigger, but maybe keep an eye out for a kinlin rim to replace it. |

If it is a V1 28h, I have a friend with a few extra on the wall new.

I had this IIRC. Dropped some tubular glue into a spoke hole and let the loose thing find the glue. Let it cure for a day or two. Problem solved.

Thanks for the help, everyone. I checked with Pacenti, and they offered$25% off a Forza rim. I decided to go with a Kinkin Xr26t as a replacement instead. It was cheaper and had a closer Erd to the SL23, and I like working with the Kinlin rims

are the kinlins easier to mount tires on? Last edited by cinema; 08-12-2020 at 01:40 PM. |

Turns out there was a crack. Hopefully replacing with the kinlin fixes the issue
