    MC Wheel, Swanzy NH

    As most of you know, I have a little bit of an issue with crashing...on the street...like worse than Denno his Rookie Season.
    And out of those crashes, the two I had while riding my Aprilia Mille (1 street, 1 track) both ended up with damage to my front rim. Which sucks! Those OZ forged aluminum rims cost some $$$.
    My local shop told me about MC Wheel Repair down in Swanzy, NH which is 5 min south of Keene.
    I went by yesterday, showed Noah my wheels, he grabbed em and said "Ok, this one is easy. This one, no promises." And he went to work.

    I showed up an hour before he officially opened, only talked briefly with him on the phone Friday, and he put both my wheels in his jigs, and 2.5 hours later, I paid a reasonable price and walked out the door.
    Sadly, one wheel was cracked, so it needed repair via welding, but he assured me that they wheel we be good to go for the race track.

    Not many people do motorcycle wheel repair in the area. Noah does a hell of a job, and had no issue with me hanging out in the shop all morning watching him work his magic. Aluminum is tough to work with. I recommend him to anyone who has a bent rim or damaged rim with 5 Stars. Great guy, who does excellent work.

    I'll post pics of the really bad rim when I get home, and the finished product when it comes in the mail.

    he's fixed many rims for me... always top notch work. Highly recommended from me as well! I love how they give you priority if you show up at the shop and they do it while you wait. Cool guys up there for sure. One time I went up w/ a bent rim that ended up being cracked and they wouldn't be able to do it while I waited.. but ended up having a rim for my bike they sold me and I was on my way.

    The best advice I’ve ever been given is to not forget where you came from.

    Yup, they do good work with quick turn around.
    Sent them a wheel and had it back in my hands in less than a week from the day I shipped it.

    They do great work on bent rotors as well.

    Dropped mine off, went to Keene for an hour and came back...done. Those guys are cool, too. Price is even cheaper if you pay cash.

    I got a wheel needing some unbending, so MC Wheel sounds like the place to go unless someone knows of a good place that fixes wheels in the Seacoast area of NH?
