Cheers, will check in a mo.

There is a crossroads on my commute that has a weird drop to it, one time when i attempted to get away from the lights quickly i went up the drop and I'm sure the whole bike jumped, i to shat my pants.

He was doing 110 mph....on a private road, not jumping over sticks.

I was doing between 90 and 100 through some downhill twisties when I hit said lumb of wood, it now judders from the front wheel when I go above 110. (All on my private road you understand!)

Just glad the wood wasn't in the corner else I probably wouldn't be wrirring about it on this forum!

What? Like this?

Well, I checked the bike and apparently, 90mph into a chunk of wood DOES bend the rim.

Only bent on one side which means I was leant over a bit so it's even luckier that I escaped without crashing.

The damage doesn't look to bad (2-3" of the rim has been puched in with the worst bit pushed in by about 1-1.5cm) but I still don't wanna be riding on it.

Is is ok to get this bent back into shape or is it not advised?

Anyone know where I should take it to get it done??

Cheers all.
