Subject: [CR]Flat spot on rim

The wheels on my Hobbs will have Bayliss-Wiley 32/40 hubs with Weinmann 26 x 1-1/4 rims. The old Weinmanns cleaned and polished up very nicely.

One problem though: the rear has a minor flat spot. The rims are aluminum and very hard to find, so I would like to fix the rear and use it.

Does anybody know how to round the flat spot without special tools?
