weld cracked rim......

[qkenuf4u]

my front is cracked about a 1/3rd the way across.. clean break in between spokes.. would you weld it and ride it or throw it away and find another ? will it survive road duty ? building a motard and cant afford my 17's yet so gonna run sportsman type setup....
thanks

Can't say whether it would hold or not, but my life wouldn't be worth taking the risk.

Just keep on the gas and ride it like a unicycle

Seriously I think it would hold fine, kinda depends on the type of riding you do as far as weather to risk it or not.

Probably more expensive and more of a pita than just finding a used one. Try posting a WTB in the junk yard. Lots of guys doing conversions have spare parts.

im in havasu so its gonna be mostly street with some dirt thrown in.. i do plan on small jumps etc...
ive posted about a rim and found multiple but the shipping is always a killer on the deal....
if things go right i might have a job in a couple weeks so the 17's might be here sooner than i think..
