    Who's good for unbendin rims?

    wanna get the rear rim checked on the gix, see if it can be fixed, or better off getting a new one. It's not cracked anywhere (that I can see), and it's not a huge bend. I've seen racers fix worse..

    So who's name is good for it?

    Gary McPhee was the best in the business, unfortunately he's too busy now....he's the Mayor of Carterton!

    Don't do this, it'll crack most likely.

    Metal Spinners straighten rims sometimes - but that's with wheels they form themselves,dunno if they could do a cast rim.

    Hey Kit, there is a place in New Market called WRS (Wheel Repair Services) in the same building as Firestone I think it is. Can't remember the name of the road but it runs parallel to Khyber Pass (behind the Olympic Pools/Movie theatre).

    If you can get it straightened, it will probably need repainting so just give it to me and I'll powdercoat it for you.

    The crowd in Cambridge are good - they did both the SP wheels for $400 after I managed to hit a small rock on the Coromandel

    Yeah Mate, one of the best in NZ, did a great job on both my wheels, thought they were history bent and very bad road rash, came back painted just like new.
