    Bit of a long shot here, badly damaged my Eason wheels at the beginning of the summer, I left them into my LBS to see if they were repairable. They have now told me that if I can source a pair of rims(front and back) they would be able to re-build them. I have looked at the usual places on line but cannot find anything like this so I was just wondering if anyone here has any suggestions. The hubs and spokes are fine but the rims are un repairable and as they are(were) my good set of wheels I would hate the thought of having to dump them.

    "4. Where can I obtain replacement spokes and other parts?
    Straight pull spokes are widely available through bicycle parts distributors. Replacement spokes, rims, and hub parts are available directly from our Customer Service 877-835-6629."

    I would have though the shop could source rims from the distributor, or you could try directly. Can't find one for Ireland, but...

    However, unless Easton have a crash replacement policy I wouldn't be surprised if the end result cost almost as much as a new set of wheels.

    Thank for that Lumen, the cost is what I am afraid of. I bought them from Chain Reaction and have sent them an email about the rims. Failing that I contact Eastin in the UK
