    This is what happened when the back wheel looses grip on the grass and bike disappears out from under me





    Twisted radiator on first loop of main trail didn't realizes it was twisted till i got home. Also got a puncher front wheel this time, half way round main loop on my second loop

    Frame and Wheel in Cambridge will be able to straighten that out very easily, and in a faster time and for a lower cost than an ebay one. Although, it wont be new, it will be close to it.

    the scary stories Ive herd about buying local, mainly price wise (I Know I should) to me its worth the risk to the likes of ebay if it can save me money, that link look interesting thanks worth investigating.

    It cost nothing to get a quote.
    I had two radiators done by F&W, which were bent and leaking and it cost $120 for both. You have one radiator which is bent but not? leaking.
    I still maintain they could do it faster and for a lower price than a chinese ebay one.

    theres a youtube vid (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Abl78E_6TcI) on how to untwist/straighten radiators.

    doesn't actually look like rocket science.
