Can bent wheels be fixed?

I've got a bent front wheel, can it be repaired? it's not too bad, not visibly anyway, until you put it on a wheel balancer and you can see its out of whack... any ideas?

Give Hagon a call; they're highly recommended. Takes a few weeks, though, but still cheaper than a new wheel. Somebody I know is getting his done for £75, but it was a huge pothole related ding.

How did you bend it, you hardly use it? Wink

Yes, but results aren't always great - I was getting tyre changed at a race meeting and the shop-blokes were looking at a wheel that another racer had sent to a wheel repair place they recommend - despite charging £60, it was still obviously bent.

I'd be looking on ebay etc first for second hand ones.
