Default Re: Front wheel, Pointy

There's a flat spot about 2in long on just the r/h side of the rim, but it also sticks out (away from the tyre) by about half an inch. I'm genuinely tempted to heat it up a bit and press or bash it back in, but I'm not totally confident in that. I could send it off to said places, but postage would work out more with the work than simply buying a second hand wheel. Thanks for the recommendation though!
I've found one from a bloke on eBay who wants £100 for it, but i'm not entirely sure on the condition as it's from a Cat-B write off. There's a dedicated SV breaker department of Bikehut in Bristol, so I think i'll give them a call.

Sod paying £486 for a brand new one from Suzuki...

Cheers
