Thanks. Its got a bit of a kick to it but I fancy giving the straightening a go so will try that. Ive been told its as good as it will get but its got to be worth a try. I'll drop you a line re: the wheels. Cheers

Bang on. The old rear was 2.20 its now 2.25 so not much in it. The way the wheel has been trued means it doesnt sit in the centre (cant remember the term for that) hence the rub when the weight goes through it/ tyre is clogged up. I'll dm you about the wheelset. Thanks.

Great link, thanks. I will defo give that a go, nothing to lose at all 👍

Thanks. Great spot particularly that front, cheers.

Thanks. I have got the rim but as it was raining I didnt take the wheel off to show where the paint and alloy has rubbed away. I know it says front on the tyre but it is on the rear - I put a maxxis dhf on and put the original front on the rear to save a few quid. I only took it out like that...

Thanks for the reply. Its been to different places over the years (the dent was done 10 years ago) and it cant be fully straightened. As the useage has now changed it seems to be more of a problem.

Hi there, I am relatively new to mtb, I have a Trek 6700 that I bought new in 2007 and having just got back into trail riding took it into my local trek store today for some advice on rear tyre upgrades.... was advised to replace the rear wheel immediately as due to a previous dent in the rim...
