Anyone know anywhere in the South East that offers wheel straightening, preferably ride in/out? Hit a pothole a couple of weeks back and it hasn't quite felt right since.

I found a firm called Motorline in Maidstone, but they can't do anything for a few weeks, and as I use the bike to commute I want to get it sorted as quickly as I can. It's not terrible, the flat spot is just below the bobbin (doesn't show up that well in that pic) but has definitely made the handling a lot more vague, and with the weather turning it's not ideal.

Cheers.

Fuck me, you can literally put a ruler along the rim for 4 inches.

I suspect that wheel is toast.

Front wheel I could understand, how'd you manage that with the back?!

Hit that, at what I can only describe as 'speed'.

You could probably put in a claim for it, that's pretty bad for a main road.
Not like it was a brick or other debris outside their control.
