I noticed my TR250 has a bent hub on the rear, I made sure nothing was interfering with snugging the wheel or drum down, and even swapped drums and wheels to isolate and it looks like the hub is slightly bent, is there any fix short of new parts?

Big Hammer?

What likely caused it, hard curb hit?, the hub is tight on the bearing no discernable play.
 
"Big Hammer" is probably what caused it, one way or the other. It could have been the result of an impact, but it also could have been the result of someone using the wrong type of puller at some point in the past? I think replacement is the only option regardless.
 
The flange can be repaired, but only after disassembling the hub and spending a lot more money then a replacement or an up grade will cost.
