And in the description it says that the £500 is for one disc bolt I'm trying to order a new wheel just now but the Italians have just come back from their month long holiday so it could take a while |

Re: Buckled wheel - Repair or replace?
Luckily there are still a couple of people working at Aprilia during the holidays! That's the new wheel ordered. I'd rather know for sure it is 100% ok. I'd be scared I hit a pot hole or something and it went crunch!
The dent on the back wheel isn't anything to worry about. It's barely noticeable |

Re: Buckled wheel - Repair or replace?
Ahh you mean for the back wheel. Gotcha. I'll probably get the balance checked but I think it'll be fine. I've ordered some angled tyre valves so the tyre will be coming off anyway
