Took the bike to a shop in Manakau city and was told it is not possible to get it perfectly round therefore not worth it. Where in Cambridge is this guy, perhaps I can pop in and speak to him?

Albany at the moment. Work in Manakau City so the traffic is terrible at night

Hi DaveTheYankI was hoping some-one would loan me a front wheel but was afraid to ask not knowing the country. If the wheel is not perfectly round they will fail me again so I think it would be best to get an undamaged one. I will source one eventially from SA as they are cheaper there but for now I cant ride. As far as unsafe goes, I got the ding on my very first ride and the bike has done 35000km since then with 2 front tyre changes so in my opinion it is not unsafe. I tried to explain this to the tester but to no avail.Thanks for your offer but I dont think the wheel would fit
