Can this be fixed?

Evening all

Few months ago my nephew landed front wheel first before face planting and I've never got around to fixing the wheel, just so I don't waste a journey to Tweeks or chester I thought I'd ask...

Worth getting straightened or just buy new (it's a spare hard tail that my mrs uses once a year type bike).

I reckon it'll straighten ok if there are no kinks in the brake surfaces

As its disc brake and doesn't need to be perfect i reckon you would be able to straighten it up but its never going to be perfect in anyway. If you want to be on the safe side i would go for a new wheel.

Oldgit's right, however looking at the video of it with the tyre off it looks like the rim has been bent outwards?

If it's an expensive hub you could get a new rim and have it rebuilt but it's often cheaper to buy a new wheel if you're getting a bike shop to build it.

Thanks for the responses guys, it's worth a trip to cost up the repair at least then vs a new wheel.

Hopefully I'll see you out soon (once I sort out my fitness).
