My question is if you had a spoke wheel which got bent and fixed would you ride on it or want to replace the hoop.......The story is at the end of last season I noticed my front 21" tire was wearing funny, so I brought it in to get checked out. The indy told me the hoop was not true and spokes were messed up, he said he did his best to get in true. He said the hub was fine and that could ride on it fine. But now i don't know if i should just get a new rim and rebuild the wheel, or just put on a new tire on the old fixed wheel.
