Buckled wheel

Hello,

just out of intrest was cleaning the bike and noticed that the gorillas who replaced my front tyre have buckled the wheel slightly.

or should I say bent the rim but enough to notice. if your looking.

apart from being unhappy could this effect the geometry of the bike?

regards

I would say no. is it balanced? you might feel it at high speed if not.

Suspect you'll feel a slight vibration through the bars on the move. If this is the case they can be repaired at very reasonable cost. They seem to be made of cheese.

Doubt you'll eben notice Topi, and if you do a bit of re-balancing will sort it out.

Hello,

Thanks for the information, the wheel seems to be balanced ok, but have noticed slight vibration through the bars on the move and on breaking, will get it checked on the next tyre change.
