Hi, I need some help and advise with a situation I've found myself in!
I have a Magic Pie Vector which has been flawless, till I hit a pot hole and bent the rim.
Had an new rim fitted at a local bike shop and this is where the issues begin.
Aside from being slugged with a bill close to 300% more than the initial quote (with no contact to confirm if the the price hike was okay). I'm left with a wheel that feels really unsafe to ride. The motor feels "loose" in the rim if that makes sense?
A lot of the spokes are literally loose with no tension at all on them. And every 3rd/4th spoke has what looks like an intentional bend in it?
When I ride along there is a lot of creaking noise coming from the wheel. I went for a short ride up the steet, it really doesn't feel safe at all! I don't want something bad to happen when I'm hooting along at 40+ km/h.
What should I do now?
