Banshee~ Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 I bent my .190 rim and some people say it will break if I bend it back. What do you think the best way to bend it back would be if it might work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRed350x Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 I think your massive image was overkill. If you heat up your rim with a small propane torch before hammering it back into place you should be ok. Don't hammer directly on the rim if possible. Use a block of wood or something else to hammer against. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fromygod Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 lay it down on a concrete floor,use a towel so u dont scratch the wheel, with the bent part facing down. get a small 3/8 brass drift or use a brass hammer and start on the least bent part( NOT THE MIDDLE OF THAT DING) try to work both sides back down evenly u will know when ur close when the wheel lies flat on its side. cant see in the pic but it is a smooth bend right? if its creased it might break. but what the hell u cant use it like that. make sure the bead is nice and smooth too. Hope it works out. WTF did u hit anyways? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meat Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 (edited) lay it down on a concrete floor,use a towel so u dont scratch the wheel, with the bent part facing down. get a small 3/8 brass drift or use a brass hammer and start on..... no offense "fromygod".... thats the right way to fix em, but... fuck dat, get a BFH and whack the shit outta it. Iv bent rims on the trail and bent em back into shape with a rock allready. Scratches....pffft Edited March 2, 2005 by Meat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ledofthezep Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 Rubber mallet will work fine too. I've had to un-taco my fronts at the dunes several times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
