MGorman Posted November 18, 2018 My Rides (4) Report Share Posted November 18, 2018 Repairing it is a decision only you can make. If you ever saw the front wheel I use for sketchy terrain that I leave more hard care tires on, you wouldn't ride my 950. I however rode on it all the way to Colorado and back to Ohio with 7 or 8 smilies and a crack. Recently I tried to make a pothole larger with my good wheelset. I was able to heat it up a little and put it in a press and push the offending outward flare of the side. In turn, it pushed the "vertical" dent out of the rim. I personally can't afford to replace a rim every time it gets a bump in it. If you are trying to run tubeless, then you may need to replace it or put a tube in it.

Allrpm Posted January 16, 2019 Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 I dented my 990 stock front rim, sent it to Woody's as well. Came back perfect. Then I bought a nice strong set of his wheels ! RPM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
