Hit a massive pothole in a race a couple of weeks ago, buckled my front wheel. LBS has trued it, but they can't get it to stop "bumping", I can feel a regular vibration through the wheel I guess due to an up-and-down.

Wondering what to do about it - replacing the rim like-for-like looks like £180 plus labour (assuming the spokes are ok). Seems like a lot of money, I think I only paid around £550 for the wheelset, is it worth it? Can anyone suggest a better option? Thanks!
