Bent rim


Hey all,

I have a slightly wobbly front rim. I have been looking around and was told to look into MC wheels in swanzy, NH. Does anyone here know someone that fixes these that isn't that far away. They charge the same for a totally screwed rim as for one like mine that it is hard to even see it is messed up.

Thanks in advance.

Re: Bent rim


I saw them online, but they don't even have a machine to take the rubber off of motorcycle wheels.

did you have any luck with them?

Re: Bent rim


i had 2 whells done at MC Wheel. A Suzuki SV-650 & my Aprilia Tuono OZ wheel.
They do a great job for a fair price $100-150 depending. The OZ wheel had a body weave & the SV had a rim edge badly enough to not hold air. Both come out BETTER than stock!
Ask for Noah. Will work with you.

Re: Bent rim


Though it is soo damn tempting to get chrome, I think MC wheels is in order. I haven't heard a bad thing yet, and I will ask for the guy with the Ark.

thanks

Re: Bent rim


I'll give McWheel

the ride out to Swanzy is about 2 hours for me, I think it's great that we have someone that is known for quality, consistent, quick turn around, so close

I've dealt with them twice now, first time was a SV650 front wheel, too much off roading on my part, I couldn't visually see any thing "out" and it went down the road straight without wobble, but it pulsed the front brake



second time, was rear wheel, caliper came undone & 60mph, put a huge gash on the inside of my rim, took it in, they said no problem fixing it, but they has another already repaired SV rear rim in stock, I rode home with it for $150

Re: Bent rim


With the price of gas it's cheaper to mail it out & you will have back in less than a week!
