    Creative ideas for an old spin wheelset?

    I can't bring myself to throw these away. They are 650s from an older TT bike. The rims are damaged and (AFAIK) can't be fixed. Spin used to replace the rims on these back in the day of they got damaged, but I don't think you can have anybody do that anymore.

    Anybody have any ideas on what to do with them? They are currently just taking up space.

    What kind of rim damage do they have? It can't be repaired some how?

    If you could fix the rim and get a disc rotor on there some how, they'd be baller on a modern 27.5 bike. 650B!!!!!

    Dave, let me send you a few more pics of the rim damage. I can't remember if they would work or not.

    If they would, I'm sure we should figure something out. They are just taking up space right now.
