Re: Wheel straightening

pull out the phone book and start asking, although it's unlikely....best bet is just to get a straight wheel from someone on stealbay

Re: Wheel straightening

Both highly recommended:

mcwheel wheel repair for alloy car and motorcycle wheels, straightening, motorcycle wheel repair, motorcycle wheel straightening, bent motorcycle wheel, bent wheel, bent motorcycle rim, bent rim.

edit: These places aren't in Texas, but freight for shipping a wheel isn't that much.

Re: Wheel straightening

I used MCWheel about 6 years ago. They did an excellent job with quick turnaround.

Re: Wheel straightening

Better call them and find out the wait period... season's rolling in for the races.. during that time, they're pretty busy - But I admit... after a lot of research, they appear to be the BEST in the industry.

Re: Wheel straightening

I sent mcwheel a front wheel off my F3 and they said it wasnt repairable. I thought they just wanted to screw me by keeping the wheel. The wheel (to me) was hardly tweaked. I rode on it for about 5k miles and really didnt have any problems besides a little faster tire wear.
