Ramana...

In 1994 a bohemouth New England pot hole decided to bend 3 out of 4 alloys
on my Ur-Q.  I heard of a company in Manchester NH from other enthusiasts
called Rim-True.  About four days and $329.00 later I was back on the road
without a whobble!  Name: Rim True  Phone: 800-Rim True (clever Heh')

Good Luck!!!
