If it is "pringled" then you should really have it fixed at a bike shop. If it is just forced back into a circle I would worry that it could return to the pringled form again. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5967#post-63709 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 15:31:21 +0000 14Westfield 63709@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <br /> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5967#post-63708 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 15:28:07 +0000 steveo 63708@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Probably a goner, you might be able to straighten it by unlacing the spokes and laying it on the ground then bending it back to basically flat. You could get the rest by truing but odds are its goosed.</p> <p>Either way its waaaayyy beyond truing by the spokes. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5967#post-63706 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 15:19:57 +0000 14Westfield 63706@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>How much of a buckled wheel can be repaired?</p> <p>Due to an errant teen and an emergency stop on the cycle path on sunday my front wheel now resembles an italic <em>i</em>. this meant nearly 3 miles of carrying home and immense frustration.</p> <p>it probably curves by a couple of inches as it now touches the fork leg - could this be fixed by trueing and replacing a few spokes or is it a replacement job? </p>
