A few months ago I crashed on my 2011 Camber Pro and damaged both the rear derailleur and front wheel. The derailleurs been fixed and is fine but unfortunately I've knocked my front wheel out of true.

I thought my LBS would be able to true the wheel but they've said the spokes would snap if they were to tighten them anymore and I've been left with a front wheel that has an annoying kink when it spins. The LBS has recommended I invest in a new wheel. Is this realistic or shall I take the wheel to another bike shop to see what they can do?

I think I'm right in assuming I need to buy a new rim/spokes and then obviously the hub and disc from my existing wheel can be used.

I've been looking for the current rim on my bike (Custom DT Swiss X420SL) but cant find it online anywhere. Can anyone recommend a decent rim that's not too pricey, preferably a DT swiss one. Also am I good to carry on riding with the wheel as it is?

Just get new set
one you'll have good wheels
Two when you go to sell the bike it will sell better
Three if you go ride and eat it really bad the front wheel will possibliy break
