    Does anyone know of a place near Cambridge UK where I can
    get my wheel straightened? It's 600 quid for a new one and it's such a
    small buckle.

    I've searched google but only can find a place in south london, and
    thats to far to go without tax or MOT...

    Thanks for reading :)

    Slide scribbled on the back of a napkin:
    Hagon (the shock people) do wheel straightening as well. North London
    is closer to you than South London, obviously.
    Remove wheel, bung it into the back of a mate's car. Most of these
    places expect lose wheels anyway

    Hagon are, apparently, pretty expensive ~£100 p/wheel.

    I'm told that a local MX specialist maybe the best approach - local
    workshop gets theirs done for about £65.
