I found out one of my spare wheels is bent. After changing tires I ended up having to pull off in the first race cause it was so bad.
Anyone know of a reputable place that can straighten it???
And how well does a wheel hold up after having to be straightened???

Do a search on Google/Yahoo, i found several shops last year when i was looking.  I never had one repaired but i'm told it's like OEM, no problems.

Rob from Lithium once told me he had someone from Kansas City that did straighten work.  But I don't recall the name.

Cat, don't feel bad.  much of the time you can buy a used straight wheel for the price of having a bent one repaired.

He straightened a bent spare for me last year and I promptly proceeded to bend it again in a crash and he straightened it again and it rides perfectly. Does a nice job, very reasonable prices, quick turnaround  and a really nice guy to deal with.

They do great wire wheel work and offer straightening in their service list  Haven't tried them for straightening, but their other services are great.
