| Front Wheel Typically on the last day I rode my 996 before the rains started I managed to hit a lump of metal scaffold bar that was lying in the middle of the road. You know you see it half a second before you hit the thing. Well luckily I manage to stay on the bike but ended up with the ding in the rim. I sent it off to Hagon to see if they could fix it but just got the bad news that the spoke cracked as they were pushing out the ding. So now I have the dilemma of finding a replacement with the following options: 1. Hunt on fleebay to see what comes up. But run the risk of buying another door stop for serious money. 2. I’ve checked on the new price from Ducati and they are £700 new  3. I’m told that 848 wheels fit and been offered a new set £1000, but would prefer for it to remain standard. Can anyone think of any other options as spending £700 for a wheel is ridiculous? Rather than pay £700 for a wheel I think I would prefer to purchase a 748s and use the front wheel from that and either break it or fit a brembo wheel and resell it as you can hardly see it behind the discs.
