    It did'nt get as far as the metoligist Bloody RAC dented the rim while checking to see if it was a blow-out and said wheel collapsed because of that .
    Have you ever seen a wheel with the spokes pulled through the rim nor had they so blamed it on the dented rim,their incompetence cost me my licence for 6 months (gits).... that was back in 1977 and it was coming to winter anyway soooooooo bugger them...

    No idea how the spoke was bent. I don't recall any incident that could have bent a spoke...

    Pulsing: only does this when braking...

    The disc looked straight against the flat survface, but if I spin the wheel, I can here the disc rubbing at one point....

    One thing that could cause both is leaving a disclock on.
    YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE

    Spoked wheel collapse ...

    Cracks in cast wheels ... so, we're all doomed, then.
