Help - wheel damaged by brick in road

[Rabb]

My guardian angel was with me Tonight!
I was on the dark section of road between the BP petrol station (near the Warminster turn off) and Westbury and I hit a brick in the middle of the road!
Managed to keep control but my wheel is damaged (a large dink in it)
Is it possble to mend this? Any help would be appreciated!
Or is it a new wheel jobbie?

Jeez! Lucky escape by the sound of it, would think new rim needed as it could be stress fracture and crack on the next pothole/bump, wouldn't risk it personally.

Get your suspension/steering checked along with the rake to make sure nothing else has been knocked

You could get it fixed, but it'll probably be cheaper to get a good 2nd hand one to replace it TBH ...

Good job it wasn't on a bend

Good to hear you are ok and good luck at finding another wheel at reasonable cost.

New wheel required I think mate could have damaged the integrity of the wheel.

Blimey! That was lucky!

I'd get a new wheel. Will probably be the same price as the repair.

Thanks everyone - new wheel it is then.
I'll get hunting on the bay / scrappies....
It shook me up a bit ; but hey I'm O.K.

Will probably be the same price as the repair.

Hmm.....I put a small dink in my wheel.
£700 for a new one, £80 to get it straightened.
I got it straightened, but mine was small.

What bike is it ? I might have one
