Bent Rim
Yep I bent a rim last night....I hate NYC and all its damn pot holes. The tire is fine and didn't lose any air...also the lip of the rim is bent in slightly...should I take it to be repaired or buy a new one? Can they even fix that?

damn, that sucks man. spend all your hard earned cash and somethiong unfortunate as this happens... i guess the only option is to ring up a tyre shop and ask if they could fix it, or better yet, take it to the shop for them to inspect and get a quote. next time, keep your eyes peeled for potholes

Let the air out of your tire get a torch and a rubber mallet bang back then get the tire rebalanced.
Or they have machines that can roll the rim back but it's almost as much as a new rim.

if it costs as much as a new rim then you might as well be sure it is fixed and just get a new rim.:sun:

Ok so I basically took a turn doing about 35....the pothole was bigger than a whores you know what. I thought it would be worse....i took a rubber mallet to it last night and bent it out.....it not perfect but its not as noticeable. I'm going to back to jersey to go buy another....I can get them out there for 100 a piece. Oh well...thanks for all the help guys.
