| Re: I hit some Railroad tracks REALLY hard!! Ouch, if you hit them that hard, it probably didn't feel real good. You've probably checked eBay but if not, that's where I always start. There was a thread on wheel straightening the other day, here's the link... Wheel straightening |

| Re: I hit some Railroad tracks REALLY hard!! This is who I use to straighten rims in the midwest. Extreme Cycle - Repair & Service of Cycles, ATV, Dirt or Street
He's not exactly speedy, but very reasonably priced and does good work. Ask for Brian. |

| Re: I hit some Railroad tracks REALLY hard!! If I knew how to post pics I would show you all what I am talking about. There was a 90 degree left w/an incline at the crest of the incline were the rr tracks, (already installed) with a HUGE pothole in front of the metal rail. I hit the pot hole thus causing me to strike the rail even at slow speed under 20 it almost flipped me over the bike!!! |
