Just had a couple of advisories on my MOT saying that the rear wheel has a slightly distorted bead rim either side. Weird as it wasn't on the last mot they did a couple hundred miles before and I've not hit any potholes but anyway....
Just been to platinum wheels and their equipment to test/repair won't work on bike wheels.
Any where that can fix this?
I could probably buy a second hand wheel but might end up with same issue!

Re: Wheel rim bead out of alignment
Are you sure it's the wheel and not just the tyre?
Should be easy to rig up something to check it while it's still on the bike, just needs a securely mounted pointer from the swing arm.
