Unhappy Graunched the Alloy - Help please



Hi all, the wife had to take avoiding action to avoid a bike who was originally turning right then decided he was going left. End result she had to mount the kerb to avoid a collision and has done a good job on the alloy. Six inch scrape along the rim. The bike did not hang around.

We live in Gloucester can any one reccomend a good place to get it repaired.

Thanks in Anticipation.

What model of wheel have you damaged?

Wheels like the 313 need to be machined on a lathe which few companies offer.

I've no idea of your location but countrywide franchise the wheel specialist has a good name.

Not the cheapest though.

These people look good to me - maybe not as local as you would like but by all accounts do a good service.

+1 for Lepsons in Swindon.

If its a 313 wheel it will have to be sent away though and you will be without it for a week
