Wanted 700c front wheel

So, ironically after reading all the threads about cycling drunk... I managed to do a duck and dive but into a very stationary post. Now, I have an interesting weave (aka buckled) front wheel.

Anyone got a front wheel, 700c for sale at a 40ish mark ? please let me know :)

Cheers

Can your wheel be trued? Did you try?

QR or bolt-on? (not Bolton)

Actually, I've not tried to true it yet... It''s not out by much, i released the front break (not removed it) and cycled home. It looks like I'd need to take a rubber mallet to it to straighten.

Perhaps I'm missing something, and if anyones out in London (central) that can show me a trick, I'd quite happy ride up to see.

not QR, it's a bolt on :)

What do you mean missing something? Like how to true wheels? Is it 'only' wobbling side-to-side? If it's not a dented rim and the wobble isn't too severe it's most likely repairable.

I will have a bolt-on front FS soon.

700c is very March/April 08.

hippy, so what happened was came spinning round a corner to find a bollard in the middle. Over compensated to the right, front wheel into railing, bike still going forward.

the wobble is not terrible, i mean, with the front break released (ie: latch to remove wheel), I can cycle it. However, it's still semi buckled (but not like 90 degree style).

I'll try the sheldon tips and see if I can bend it back, mind, if there is a wheel going, I still need to build a beater as well....

Give it a shot truing it. Waste is bad mkay.
Radial laced blue Open Pro. It's not really a beater wheel..

if you decide to buy a wheel i have a black mavic cxp22 laced to a campag xenon low flange (QR) for sale for £25.00
Pm me if you want it.

ta Brain, sent you a PM.

I think the wheel is recoverable, but will take a bit of time.

if it's just a case of truing it'll take about 10 quid at the most dude... maybe even today..

try posting a thread called "wheel true needed, today if possible - cash/treats paid"

worth a shot, you might be up and running again by the evening..

Not another thread.. just PM arup, dogsballs or one of the others who like tightening their spokes.
