dom1f Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 Cleaning the bike today and noticed a big ding in the rim of the front wheel. Splatshop want £130 for a new one which I would have to lace onto the hub, which from what I am told is a bugger of a job. Or £300+ for a complete wheel. Is it something I can get repaired? Or are there any trials breakers I could get a seondhand one from? That said is it that much of an issue if I just keep riding this one? I am a beginner so it won't be getting a hard time leaping off stuff or any of that clever stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b40rt Posted September 2, 2012 Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 As above, but personally I wouldn't worry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee99780 Posted September 2, 2012 Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 Yeah, it can't be that bad or surely you wouldn't consider riding it? The tyre must still be seated correctly too? Ride on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony27 Posted September 2, 2012 Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 Take it to a wheel builder, chances are they will be able to flatten the ding out for you or at least minimise it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
