Thought i was going nuts for the past 3-4 weeks, ive been feeling something wrong with my front end.
Turns out my rim has a section on both the left and right side, wher the lip has shifted to hte left of hte bike about 1mm. I was spinning m ywheel and saw some kind of deflection, didnt notice it too much, but when i put my hand on the edge of the wheel and spun it, bam both sides were divated. ( not the lip, but the part right before the lip begins)
Im not sure when this happened, but i am VERY positive that it was caused by that freaking ridge on the south bound FDR drive near the 28th st ramp on the inside lane, its about 1/4 way into a left turn... ive had to slow down from 70mph on the highway to 30 just to go over it and it doenst help that i pass by it 2x everyday. I have not called 311 about it. When i did call about the first time my rim got dinged they fixed it about 3 months later.
I had a bent lip (same rim) and howie linked me to a form that i could submit to get it "reimbursed". I never got around to since i needed to have someone look at it, and seeing how i only have liability, im not sure what shop i need to bring it to, or if they will charge me just to sign a form that says its bent.
Can I just bring it to a local motorcycle shop? And pay them to take a look at it? Whats hte likelyhood that the city will deny the claim? I dont care if they pay to get it fixed or whatever...but i would be happy with new ones....
