alloy wheel repair london
Does anyone know a place in London that could repair an 18 inch motorcycle rim? I've got a bend in it that needs to be repaired. It's not too serious, but i have to keep an inner tube in it to stop air leaking past the tubeless rim.

I bent a K100 front wheel rim a couple of times in rain filled potholes. I believe straightening weakens it a little, hence the second time, but it got me going.

I tool it to be straightened at Hagon, the shock absorber people who at the time were in somewhere like Walthsamstow, north east London. They have since moved to as below, which is just east of London and still on the Underground. I don't know if they still do this, but should be worth a ring.
