Re: Bent Rim

Well the shop will not mount a new tire on a bent rim because you will have reliability issues later. Plus the shop can injure themselves if they try - since the rim is not physically sound anymore and with the tire mounting machine it could cause the wheel to explode.

Just get a new one.
