Wheel Taco without Guacamole - Ducati.ms

Anyone fall victim to wheel taco on the Hyper front, or any previous bike?

The front rim is flaired on both sides just slightly on mine...not sure when it happened and the flairs are offset which means I was in a curve when it happened leaned left...

Sooooo.....I need to know if you guys are aware of anyone that can fix it? A new front wheel on the HM-S is expensive, and right now I don't want to have to go that route for such a subtle issue. The tire still holds a bead and I've ridden around 1500 miles with no issues.

I live in Orlando...have heard of some places you can ship it too and they fix it for around $150 total...help...

Guido - Anyone down in the Southeast of the state fix these things?

I had one fixed through a shop here in NY called Cycle Therapy. They sent it out. I wish I knew the place they sent it to, to save you the middle man....

The cost was around 150 plus shipping.

Appreciate it...Hyperowners rock!

So, it seems I'm the only victim so far.
