Damaged wheel rims = new wheel?

Is the wheel out of true or are gouges in the braking surface causing your brakes to bind?Neil

Thanks - there are gouges in the braking surface which make the brake blocks bounce and judder on braking.
The wheel's very slightly out of true.0 -
Take it to your LBS, if the gouges aren't too deep you may be able to blend them out and your rim can be re trued but it needs assessing in the fleshNeil

Maybe just a bent spoke, which is what happened to me.
60p for a spoke if you do it yourself or about 6 quid at a LBS0 -
Depends on the degree of damage / buckle to the rim - anything less than 12mm is generally re-trueable, but a deep gouge, kink or crease generally means a new rimMake mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..0
