Morning guys,

I've noticed some vibration through the steering wheel at 60+ on the Ultima and it turns out there is a slight flat spot on the inner basket of the N/S wheel. Has anyone used someone locally for such a repair??

Try Vernon at the 'The Wheel Specialist'. https://www.thewheelspecialist.co.uk/

As they are true split rims if all else fails you can simply replace the inner rim.

Thanks all.

The basket only has a very minor flat spot, but at the tyre it accentuates it considerably. I'm going to try Alloy Magic based out in Poole in the new year - see what they can do.

I did think about putting together a January meet, but it's been so quiet in here of late, there would likely be minimal interest
