Edited Date/Time:
I brought my bike into the lbs and got quoted 50 AUD dollars to have the bearings in the rear hub replaced, i called up today and now they are charging me doubled up to 100 AUD because the guy i talked to was new and didnt know what he was doing. he cant charge me less. He has the bike on hold and isnt going to fix it yet unless i tell him too. He said it slightly damaged the hub getting the bearings out.
The bad points with my back wheel is
-all bearings need replacing
-rim is a bit bent and trueing isnt fixing it
-few spokes missing
-whole wheelset is about 4-5 years old
-the sides of the rim have no paint from when i use to use brakes
is it worth fixing or should i get a whole new wheel set? if i did replace the back i would need to replace the sprocket and chain as well since my sprocket is bent and my chain is on its way out. i dont have much money but i might be able to use the money i was going to use for a laptop for that but im not sure yet i have been saving up money for a while now, and my family and i live on a small wage.
Here is my bike (with the wheels) http://bmx-bikes.gearsuite.com/l/69/2011-WeThePeople-Volta
