G'day, spent most my easter riding my 700R Raptor and ended up with what looks to be a buckled front left wheel. Just wondering if anyone has done this and if so how do i repair and costs etc what be appreciated????? Thanks

 

You'll have to replace the wheel. It might be a good idea to get a set of stronger aftermarket .190's so you don't bend another one.

 

Have done the same to mine, best to do as above get some aftermarket wheels that are stronger. One youve done that Bob's your Uncle!!

 

Ya I havn't done that yet but i'm going to start racing soon and I only got a couple stock parts left on my bike. and my rims is 1 of them parts. I was looking at these nice bedlocks but they cost a **** load of$$$$$$$

???

 

What kind of racing will you be doing? I don't see a real reason for beadlocks unless you ride that freakin aggressive that you've taken a tire off the bead before. I would just stick with regular .190 aluminum wheels from ITP or Douglas, whichever one you think looks better or whichever one is on sale if you like them both.

 

If your going to by somthing buy what you really want so you dont end up spending twice the money. Like the expensive rims.. buy them. Or buy the cheap ones month later buy the others. What I ended up doing =0. If you dont want them just get the ones listed above. Bent rims= short day of riding. Bent my rim july 2nd. Got there the 2nd went home the 2nd. Sure can ruin a good week of riding [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]
