Front wheel repair, which company?
 

Apart from Motorliner in Maidstone is there anyone else that can straighten a front wheel with pot hole damage, preferably a bit nearer Glasgow and not from the vice and sledge hammer and school of repairs?
The bike is ridable, I've been riding around with it for the past 18 months, trouble is it's due an MOT soon.

Maidstone is the one ive been told is very good by non forum freinds. They come highly recommended so why not use em?

Try to knock it back in with a plastic faced hammer if the lip is bent! If its a flat spot probably best of sending them off for repair

Motorliner end of. Will cost you about £9 each way in courier fees.

Please don't do this if it's a cast wheel. You might get away with it if it's an alloy wheel off a moped but if it's on something decent do it properly and send it to Maidstone.

It's got a flat spot so I won't be going down the plastic hammer route, but I've talked to a few other companies that do wheel straightening where the hammer is the preferred tool!
Compared to £536 is for a new wheel Motorliner is a bargain, I need to strip the wheel down first so I'm going to buy Abba's gizmo for getting the front off the ground.
I just have to take the grief from the Missus as I didn't claim from the council roads department at the time.
Nobbylad any preferred couriers?

Wheelhouse tyres in coleshill in Brum do wheel repairs, spoked wheels, powder coating etc.

Bit closer than Maidstone.

My guess is he sends it by courier rather than walking there with it:D
