Re: bent rim
is it major? the best option you can do is take it to a shop and see if they have a machine that will put it round again, worst case scenario go online or to a shop and buy a single rim.

Re: bent rim
Unless it's really bad, a wheel repair shop will probably be able to handle it easy. I would call around and find a highly regarded shop and take it to them. How bad is it?

Re: bent rim

Re: bent rim
Get it repaired. Generally, rim repair is a very economical and cost-effective solution, unless the wheel is very inexpensive and easily available

Re: bent rim
talked to this guy on the phone once. He seems to know his stuff and others I have talked to have told me they heard good things about him.

Re: bent rim
steel wheels are much easier to do and less precise. I've fixed them with a sledge hammer before.
