Bent Rim

**172Driver** · 09-19-2011, 05:19 PM

A friend of mine has unfortunately received a bent front rim.... We've heard that "The Guy" for fixing bent rims is in Toronto but never really heard who s/he is or in what shop.

Any one here have someone they highly recommend for this job? What would a reasonable price be?

Not sure it matters but its the front rim (OEM) on a Daytona 675.

Thanks in advance!

Ask the guys at Rocket, they might know.

Most of the shops that used to fix bent rims won't do it anymore. The only one i know that still will is Maximum Cycle in London but you can probably find a straight used one online for what it'll cost you to get it straightened.

its $210+ tax to straighten a rim at maximum cycle in london....

And the rim loses strength when it gets bent back.

Much better to buy an undamaged used rim.

I have had 3 wheels successfully straightened by Maximum, and one front rotor.
