I ashamedly buckled my front mavic ksyrium wheel yesterday which i'm highly annoyed about because they are only a week old. Can this easily be fixed? Will i be able to get it perfectly true again? :((((((

    Yellow is the new Black.

    Have you register them with the MP3 scheme?
    If not, do it now, you might still be in time... then you make a claim... if it is too late (read the rules of the scheme) then it might just be a truing job... but if the rim is damaged, a new one will be a very expensive affair

    What is the MP3 scheme? Hopefully it will just be a truing job

    I just looked at Mavic MP3 scheme but i can't get it anymore. I bought the wheels brand new from someone on here.

    Remove the tyre and inspect the rim... if there is a flat spot or a significant dent you are up for a big bill, no question... if not, maybe a spoke key can sort it out... you need to go to a Mavic retailer LBS as Mavic use their own unique nipples.. that unless you have been provided with a spoke key.
    If the rim offset is significant (i.e. 1 cm or more) then the rim is probably damaged. Mavic are a pain if you damage them

    Thanks for the replies. I was supplied with everything so i have the spoke key. It's not a massive buckle but it hits the pads when it goes round. I will go and inspect the rim now.
