I buckled my rim quite badly a few weeks ago on a ride to Sutherland, I took it to some dude in Stikland and they could not get it right. I was then at the GS trophy trials and met Ruan who was part of the SA team that came second in the last GS trophy. He told me he has a guy that will fix the rim. I though ya right, but what do I have to loose! New whole wheel R15k and new pouter rim with spoking it was R6k. I got the wheel back and it is 100%, I could not believe it. Cost was R890 from Ruan. He is that Cape Bike hire place in Buitengracht street in Cape Town. I can look for his card if anyone needs the exact address. Really worth making a note of this.
