Hi all.
Seen a pothole late on and couldn't avoid it with my rear wheel, hit it quite hard, punctured my inner tube and now have an up and down wobble on my rear wheel (flat spot) can this be repaired or is it a replacement jobbie? Not sure if anybody has had a repair done in this situation. Wheelset: Fulcrum Racing Sport
Thanks.

Is the wobble there when you spin the wheel without the tyre on?
If it only appears with the tyre fitted it may just be the bead not sitting correctly.1 -
Flat spots cant be repaired. There is no viable way to make the rim round again. A side wall bend however can be pulled back if it not too severe.http://www.thecycleclinic.co.uk -wheel building and other stuff.1

Thanks for your help, unfortunately it was a flat spot so new wheels ordered, will try to avoid these pot holes!! 👍L.Molyneux0
