    They recondition, repair, straighten all alloy wheels.

    I have not tried them personally but I have heard excellent things about them through the trade

    bugjuice. I would definitely recomend John Yates, 39 lake street cambridge, ph 07 827 6688. He has just straightened a front race wheel for me, and as you can see it had a rather nasty little ding. I thought it would be impossible to fix that, but he has made it like new, runs true, balances nice and i'am back racing, cheaper than replacing one of those wheels.if i could even get one now ?

    If a wheel looks basically alright:

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...MakeTrack=true

    is it still possible that it could be bent in some way? Is it possible to fix, say, a slightly bent spoke in a 3-spoke wheel?

    but they could get fractionally bent/warped in some way... and that can be fixed ok

    That's pretty much what I meant

    So, basically, if a rim still kinda looks like a rim, it's highly unlikely to be too farked to fix. Cool.

    BTW: Brugar did your Gixxer rim, right? How were they?
