Wheel Straightening

Bike had a service yesterday and a new front tyre was fitted.

It was then noticed that the wheel rim needs straightening. He has done his best but it is still noticeable Crying or Very sad

MOT runs out Tuesday, will it fail on this or will I be lucky to get an advisory?

Unsure, but you could always call Motoliner in Aylesford, they straightened my forks and yokes for £40, they do frames and alloys I think Thumbs Up

Had worse.

A handful of whacks with a plastic hammer and you wouldn't know it was there.

As said I would be at that with a lump of hardwood such as beech and a big hammer.

I need no postage, but a few quid (£3) to deliver or you can pick up is fine

I take it the wheel is in good condition and will fit straight onto my 02 Fazer? Cool
