Buckled wheel
 
I've heard that you can get these straightened. I got a quote for a new wheel and it's £150 for one :cry:

Has anyone ever had one done?

What was the result?

Who does it?

Thanks in advance

Paul :)

Just tighten the spokes up on the opposite side to where the wheel is pulling too.

And loosen the spokes on the other side to suit.

Hope this helps.....

:lol: Not quite what I had in mind but about right from you :lol1:

Glad I could be of some assistance.

Ive got a spare spoke key, if you want it.......

Try speaking to Callahans or Carringtons(?!?) :freak3: bodyshop in Bourne End.

I dunno if they do wheels per se but they might know a man who can....

:cool: I will take it on down there on Thursday. I'm just waiting for a reply from another company I've found too. If not then it's new wheel time or just go back to the standard ones :(

Thanks :)

Theres a place near me that will straighten out ANY wheel near enough (and i should know :D), price obviously depends on the size/finish etc of the wheel etc.

They did a wheel for me which which was a standard 15" Peugeot wheel that went in looking like a 50p piece, and was absolutely RUINED, for £60, and it came out looking genuinely brand new. I was honestly gobsmacked at the standard of it. I would imagine there will be a lot of these places about the country, i would just ask to see examples of their work before you part with any £££.

If it is just a simple chunk taken out of the rim i would imagine around £30-£40 would be reasonable.

In deference to yoza, you haven't actually said what the wheel was from...

I think Yoza knew it wasn't a push bike wheel :D
