Does anyone know of a reputable guy in or around the San Antonio area that can fix two minor flat spots on a laced rim? TIA
These got damaged during shipping, I am going to open a claim with USPS and need to figure out a place and price to submit with the claim.
It is extremely difficult to capture the two bends in a picture. One is more obvious than the other but if you roll the rim on the floor the one that is less noticeable shows itself.
I didn't think it would be hard to find someone to a rim job in Texas. Have you tried simply googling it? Not everyone is on here.

Yes I have googled my *** off, I have found a few places that are more of a corporate setting with unjustifiable prices. I have also contacted three smaller mom and pop shops, one says he will do it with no guarantee of the work, the other tried to tell me that it would be cheaper buying a new wheel (which is BS) and told me his lace and true fee alone was $400 (also kinda ridiculous) and the third said they don't mess with it nor do they know anyone in the area that deals with fixing wheels.
I fully intend on continuing to look just hoping someone had experience with a shop in the area.
I submitted the claim with USPS this morning so until they finalize things I can't touch it anyways, if all else fails I plan to build a small jig to try and fix it myself.
