Also, clearly your wheel took a good enough hit to damage it. I'll bet most shops would recommend bearing replacement as part of their estimate when looking at such a repair. Again, better safe than sorry. Now after all the expense of getting a beautiful Tricolore, do you really want to pinch a penny where your safety and the integrity of the bike is concerned?

Ducati's price is about 125% of the price I got at a bearing house (about $25/per). Start by reading the number on the side of your bearing, then call these guys:
