Dent/chip In Wheel Rim

  1. Has anyone had similar on a wheel rim, and is there a successful way of repairing it?

    Or is the wheel scrap?

  2. No personal experience but on the other forum (biker down - our pres thread) BigOz said he'd had a bent wheel straightened by these folks http://www.motoliner.com/ - they might know what is & isn't fixable

  3. I’ve used Motoliner before for buckles, but not chips or dents.
    The photo’s have now been emailed to Motoliner for their comment, but I should like any comments from the racers and crashers amongst us.

    Thanks.

  4. Certainly not scrap.I take it that the tyre still holds air?

  5. There are many specialists throughout the country that can repair much worse than that - here's my local one near York.
