i have a front bent wheel, that ive been lookin for a replacement for. would it be better to just fix it? the cheapest i found for one was 350 used. it just seems like alot of the ones i find are in crap condition, or bent already too and they still want upwards of 300 dollars for them.

so i figure if people are still selling them bent as hell, maybe they know something idont. should i just take it somewhere to get it fixed?

 

ive never heard of fixing a bent wheel. but that does not mean it's not possible.

 

There is some shops that straightens auto wheels im not sure about a bike though... seems like I would rather have a new wheel for the bike.. Since thers not much wheel there as it is...

 

I contacted my local Big-O for a bent auto rim and they set me up with a company that takes care of shipping and fixing the wheel. it worked out good, and was about $100 per wheel. You might get a hold of one of your local tire stores and see if they have a company and give them a call to see if they will fix a motorcycle wheel.

 

well originally i wanted to get a brand new one since because it is a bike, i pretty much depend on this wheel to work perfect or i'm dead, but if thats overkill then i might as well get it fixed.

heres apicture

 

ouch....

 

theres a few places you can call and that wheel can be fixed, ive seen worse then that come out of the shop and still run true on the track and streets.

 

There's a guy in Apple Valley, California who fixes bent wheels for $75 but you have to ship it to him with the $75 check and that includes return shipping. Price may have gone up with the fuel prices. Call: David Moore Wheel Service. 760-240-3543
