the mechanic said at the shop for them to rebuild the wheel it will cost around £100, £50 labour and £50 for parts etc
Which mechanic? Either he doesn't know what he's looking at, or he has a source of Shimano carbon laminate rims at £50. Either way, we need his name, to avoid him at all costs or to get him to hook up all the people with busted RS80/RS81/7450/9000 carbon laminate wheels who have hitherto been shuddering at the thought of paying £150+ for a rim.
Apparently, Cole C24 is a drop-in replacement for the Shimano C24 rim if you just want to get your wheel up and running for cheap at the expense of a bit more weight and a bit less rigidity.

:( the mechanic said at the shop for them to rebuild the wheel it will cost around £100, £50 labour and £50 for parts etc.... Would that sort the wheel out? Or the aforementioned bend of doom on RS81s are just unfixable.
