I think I have a spare one if you want to try it. I had the same issues with mine and had to doctor the ones that stayed on the bike. How’s you get on?

Hi Roo, how was the trip? No I've not got to the bottom of it yet and moved on to other bits for now but I could try a spare. Maybe worth me getting some photos of mine off the bike to compare first as I'm sure it's not bent just cast at a different angle.
Laverdaroo:
Cheers Johnny I’ve an air box lid for Dom too so thought I could fire him up a mixed bag of stuff. Makes sense.
Glad to be home……..at least it’s warmer

I thought the same as mine looked twisted too, had a right think on trying to fettle it. I had the compounding issue that at the time, none were available so bought whatever came up, mine was drooping badly also but managed that fairly easily, the twist was different but let’s have a look at what you’re working with and see if we can fettle it for you. Mine look pretty good now and I’m happy to leave them now but it took a bit of fiddling.
DomP:
I've spent the last few weeks fiddling around with my wheels trying to decide what to do with the slightly crusty rims, I'm thinking black powdercoat with stainless spokes. Today I've only just noticed my front rim is a Takasago with really thick 4mm spokes, surely not standard, dos that mean the rim has been reared out to take the hoofing great nipples?
The rear has very tidy plated spokes with yellow phosphor nipples so I might see if I can sell them on to help fund the stainless.
