Dymag Wheel problem!?!?

One of the magnesium spokes is loose from the carbon fiber. There is a leak. Is it adhesive holding the spokes in place? Can anyone state side repair Dymag wheels? What should I do? Thanks.

contact the manufacturer or the retailer if you bought them from one...they should be able to make recommendations or advise you who to send the wheel to for repair (if it can be repaired)

They came used off Ebay from Champion. They were advertised to be in great condition. I'll try them tomorrow/Monday, but if anyone knows how the frame is mounted or of a repair shop, it would be appreciated.

don't hesitate to email Dymag...I am sure they would like to know about any wheel failure..and they can tell you where and if it can be repaired...they may just send you a new one if you return the damaged one

Checkout this thread - same issue, he was able to send them back thru an authorized Dymag dealer, perhaps sponsor GMG on the board may be able to assist...

I bought my Dymags from Wheels Botique in Miami. I had air leak issues with my fronts. A real PITA, about 10 lbs every two days.

Locally I had them checked but no definite answer. Wheels Botique contacted Dymag and they were sent back to England.
Dymag made good and they came back fixed.

BTW the spokes are bolted to the CF barrels but there is an adhesive present.
Wheels Botique has taken apart many Dymags specifically to powdercoat the centers as per customers request.

If you'd like contact Ben at Wheels Botique.

Contact Bill Koenig at:

http://www.dymag-usa.com/

He is the sole importer/distributor of Dymags in the USA. Good luck with the fix. Also, don't let this be a damper on Dymags. They are fantastic wheels.

Dymag should make good, might be a problem since you are not the original owner though

Bill will let you know

Hopefully it's a painless and inexpensive fix. I've got Dymags as well (came with the 3 when I bought it) and I think they were originally purchased in the UK. Good to know there is a local solution if problems arise. How much and how hard do you use the Dymags ? Pure track or some street as well ?
