Can anyone help please? I took my set of wheels to Ben van der Berg in Tokai to have it straightened. He finished the front wheel and it is fine, but he is struggling with the rear wheel. He does not have a jig to mount the wheel that he can spin it. Does anybody perhaps know where he can get such a jig?

Steph, Off the topic - I apologise, but what does the wheel straightening cost (front), how long does it take and are you happy with job?

Steph - I think LINK ENGINEERING, in Salt River, close to the Salt River circle, can help. They have a 'resident expert' who works on bike wheels... http://www.themanorcottage.co.za

You can give Boats and Bikes ( or is it bikes and boats???) in Killarney Gardens a call. He was recommended to me by Danie Maritz

Thanks Jeremy, I spoke to Michael and it seems that he would be able to sort it out for me. Just a warning to anyboby that read this. Ben van der Berg charged me R1400 for the work on the wheels, the rear rim he could not fix and the "Powder Coating” on the wheels turned out to be a normal spray job. Not recommended!
