WHEEL REPAIRS

If your wheels are repairable, SpinDoctor can repair them. Here is a list of common repair jobs I have done;

  • BASHED RIMS
    I have a hydraulic press which is good for straightening flatspots or dents in rims. This is certainly the cheapest way of fixing a bashed rim BUT is only appropriate if the damage is not too severe. If the dent is too severe, or if there is a crack, there is no option but to replace the rim. Here SPIN can offer the option of refurbished rims or I can supply new items depending on budget.
  • BROKEN SPOKES
    Anyone can be unlucky enough to break a spoke or two, even if the wheel is brand new. In these cases SPIN is happy to replace & fit individual spokes without the owner having to splash out for an expensive, complete spoke set.
  • BROKEN HUBS
    Depending on the extent of damage, SPIN may be able to to repair broken hubs. I use a sub-contract alloy welding company who already supply to the motor-racing industry. Their work is excellent quality and often provides an attractive alternative to purchasing a new hub.
  • BROKEN BEARINGS
    SPIN can extract broken bearings. I have also seen in some instances a broken bearing can cause damage to the housing or internal spacers. Again SPIN can repair this damage using alloy welding and CNC turning.
