Bent Rim

Post by StKnoWhere »

A pot hole put a nice ding in in the outside edge of one of my my Enki RP-F1's. Iinside looks OK but haven't taken the tire off the rim yet to see if it is out of round.

I'm leaning towards replacing it but is this something you can take to a rim repair shop?

Yes, looks like after the tire comes off that could be fixed.

Had it repaired by the local RImGuard guy and you can't tell it was damaged other just a little paint missing on the edge of the rim. Cost $125 plus $20 for tire dismount/mount/balance.

Unfortunately I didn't notice they mounted the directional tire in the wrong orientation so it has to go back tomorrow.
