Buckled wheel

[gazman]

So I've picked up another brick for a "spares".  A runner but buckled front wheel. My question is can they be straightend or is it trash? I've pulled all the fairings off and I'd like to ride it before I strip it down to nothing just to gauge condition of motor and gearbox. Cheers. :falldown:

Depends.  If it goes deeper than the lip that holds the bead I'd say the wheel is trashed.  Maybe put the wheel from you good bike on the parts bike to try it out?

Thanks swapping wheels is option 2 an there,s no visible damage to wheel just a 1" woof inbetween 2 spokes. I'm thinkin its trash. Cheers for the input.
