The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

I bought a wrecked 2014 Honda Forza last year. I wore out the rear wheel having too much fun. I replaced it with a Michelin CityGrip. I was going to put a CityGrip on the front wheel when I noticed that the front rim has a small dent on one side.

I don't know if the previous owner bent it or if I did. What are my options for fixing this?

It is a small dent that does not seem to affect the riding. I am going to ride until the front tire wears out. Can it be straightened or will putting on a new tire with a tire machine crack the rim?

I have ridden thousands of kilometres with it bent so it seems to be stable.

Who sells wheels?

None, throw it in the bin.

Yeah, I think you are right but it is going to a hard ride with no front wheel. Is Honda my only option?

I don't know that much about the Forzas but Bikebandit has a front rim for the non-abs version for around $237. You might look at them after pricing it at the dealer.

Dig around. There might be a place in your area that can straighten it. In my area there are a couple places that straighten alloy wheels if they aren't too far gone.

Yes, and there's the breaker option....

I haven't tried them, but have you looked on ebay for a used one?

I am re-reading some of my old threads.

My Forza 300 now has 95730 km with the same dented front wheel.

I guess it is not really a problem.

Good info here:

How do you know its bent?? Dent .. Jack wheel up and spin it and see if you get any wobble.Brakes feel OK and pulsing ?? Could all be good, but needs a good checking .
