-
- There are specialists that repair wheels. If you look in the back of
- REVS magazine (or AMCN) you'll find the names of repairers. Your bike shop
- might just send the wheel away to one of them anyway!

-
- Opinions? I guess it depends on the wheel. Wobbly, (R75/6 bmw) has
- spoked wheels that I didn't want to touch so when I got a ding
- I sent the wheel away. But I'm no expert. Several of the other
- aus.bikers should know more about this.
