Tiny dent in front rim

[Bugtooth Old and Slow Find all posts View Profile Close Bugtooth]

Crusing at about 20-25 mph on Sat night heading home to shower and get ready to start the boozing. Chicago side streets always seem to have a "Man made pot hole" that the city has created for no real reason other than to spend budgeted money. Well, I see a huge one and swerve to avoid it, only to go head on to an even bigger one. It was dark and the street was poor as far as lighting was concerned. Did my first real stoppie when the front hit and the rear raised. Not sure how you guys do those, freaked the hell outta me - Needless to say, small dent that does not seem to have caused a leak - How much to shops charge to fix something like this

How big is "tiny"? Best you take some pictures for us before you get the worthless sign.

How much "out of balance" does it feel like it has?

You might be better off jst scanning the "for sale" section rather than going for a repair, probably the better option in the end.

A mates bike had a sizable ding rolled out. it was about 3 inches long and maybe 1/4 of an inch deep, cost him $180 to have fixed like new (aussie dollars) so maybe $100 or so U.S.

But yeah kinda depends how big it is.

If its small, let it ride. I bent one of my rims awhile back and rode on it for half a year before decideing to buy the OZ wheels. Take it easy for awhile and check the pressure alot to ensure there is no leak. If there isnt , just keep an eye out on ebay/4sale and youll find one. No reason to blow alot of cash on a wheel. Wait for a deal. I just sold my front not too long ago for a decent price.

Sorry...had to do it

Ya know, I almost included that I am sans dig camera! It is not too big and not real deep. Maybe, just maybe 1/8th to 1/16th on an inch. I have been checking the pressure with every ride and it seems okay (now that I typed it I will go home to a flat, right?) I will check the e-bay thing too, nice idea - The balance does not seem to be an issue, all feels fine - How much do stock '03 rims go for?

Thanks folks!

if you decide to get it fixed try this guy

I've had wheels done there and he does great.
It's about $120 I think.
