Hi Ali,
What a poignent post as I was just in my garage today (during a hailstorm
) and wondering about if I really should get my polished front wheel repaired. At my last MOT my bike actually failed on rear wheel bearings but the test mentioned a warning about the front wheel which he said was slightly buckled - Blow me but, I can't see it while rolling the wheel.
I might mount it on a spindle in a vice or something and have a look BUT....
it all reminded me of a guy near me who repaired an Alloy BMW wheel for me YEARS ago. He maintained that his 'repairs' had been tested by X-ray and were as sound as anyone elses BUT when I asked him HOW it was actually done I remember him saying "You REALLY don't want to know!".
Hmmmmmm.
I think the guy is still open for business as I remember seeing an Ad in MCN for him a little while back (cant find him after searching their website - great value advertising !!!)
BUT I remember seeing the Ducayi's he mentions on his website some 10 years ago - but I will phone up and see if he is still doing repairs:
