RE: Bent Wheels - 2

Zitat von Zog im Beitrag #13

Hi All,
I've just blown two fork seals and bent the rim, on a 2015 RS. I suppose it's better than collapsing the wheel altogether and coming off though. Bloody UK potholes. I'm sending the wheel to Maidstone Motoliner Ltd, who can true both cast and spoked wheels. Fingers crossed, as there aren't many s/h wheels for sale anywhere.

I claimed on Wiltshire CC for a new (car) tyre due to pothole a couple of years back. I think the claim was around the £100 mark. So certainly worth putting in a claim. If you can get a picture of the pothole as well as the damage it helps. I was able to even find a picture of the one I hit on Google Maps! (Street view, it wasn’t so big you could see it from a satellite!)
Best of luck.

Unfortunately, I can't remember exactly where it was, so I'll have to grin and bear it. On the plus side, I got the wheel collected and sent to Maidstone Motoliner, who are highly recommended for straightening wheels & frames. They charge GBP 145.00 to collect, repair & return the wheel, which sounds like good value to me. The wheel was collected on 10th Feb and I'm expecting it back tomorrow, so a fast turnaround.
I have no connection with the company other than as a customer, but they have reams of good reviews.
