Repairing a "dinged" alloy Versys wheel

[Russ McDermid]

I had the misfortune of hitting one of those crater sized potholes in the road, which resulted in the rear wheel of my Versys taking a bit of a knock in the rim/bead area. Its not cracked, just bent in by about 10mm from where it shud be.
Has anybody had any experience of wether the alloy wheel can be repaired, or is it a case of a new one ?

No personal experience but a friend of mine had his front rim "dinged" (also Versys) and he had it repaired at a shop for car wheels. And he is still riding with it.

It certainly can be repaired but just a matter of finding someone who can do it.

I`d be giving Nat at the Piston Shop a call,or Sa at SaMoto...

Go to the Cockpit guy on R 108/ Hang Dong Rd., I think he will be able to help you.
