Hi All.
Went to get new tyres on and the guy there said that there was no point balancing the front wheel because it was buckled too badly (there is a little shake on the bars now). Just been talking to someone at Hagon who was very helpful but basically gave me no hope, understandably they couldn't say whether it was fixable without seeing it so I would have to post it up there, the nipples are almost certain to be seized solid he said and I would need new spokes which they don't have. He suggested I buy a secondhand wheel but check it visually first, not a ridiculous idea but I can see me ending up driving half way to Scotland or somewhere. Is there another option I'm missing or is there somewhere I can just take the hub and they have everything and just do the job with no faffing about?
Cheers.
