That's the worst wheel I've ever seen
Can't quite see the damage on the disk though. If you mean the rivets are knackered you know they can be replaced right?

If they're that badly toasted it will have damaged some part of the discs. If alloy carrier is damaged not too bad, if it's the disc itself then chuck them.

I wouldn't worry about replacing just one disc though.

Cool, that's the cable issue sorted...

The left side spring was fine, but the right side spring is a bit out of shape.

So you're on the painful end of £400 there. Unless you can find a wheel/disc/tyre set cheap ish.

Dave, on the picture the blue circles is where the disc on the other side has protruded...and the smaller circle identifies a slight bend in that area, on the other side.

Well, it's cheaper than trying to find upto £2k for a replacement bike, but a painful cost nonetheless.

It's looking like the "silver fox" could be missing this summer, while I start the potential rebuild.

Depends, there was a SRAD750 went on here for £650 the other week (which I should have bought... meh!)

Would probably work out cheaper to buy another cheap curvy and break the other one.
