Can a bent mt bike rim be repaired.... it is still ridable? |
Can a bent mt bike rim be repaired.... it is still ridable? A bent rim being repairable wholly depends on how it's bent and how bad it is. If is slightly out of true it usually an be trued to near perfect. If it moderately out of true it can be trued good enough for most riders. If it's bad, badly dented or kinked it likely needs replacing. Only the person doing the truing will know for sure. If it is a steel rim from a low-end store mt bike, then it probably isn't worth the effort. You can replace the wheel pretty cheaply if you find the right bike shop. That's something I wouldn't mess with. If the rim is bent, replace it. You could start ripping the side walls of tires. Hard to say. If the rim is DENTED, like if your tire was underinflated then no, it cannot be repaired... trying to bend it back will result in the rim cracking. |

NEVER!!! ...ok rider nothing to worry here that normal when bike heats and rain hits it would get oil changed then keep watching it the temp arround the bike and rain water will do that ...Around $4000.00 after it's fixed. ...So you have to find the probability that your average repair will be worth $1200/25 = $48. We're saying that the expected average is $55 with a standard deviation of sqrt(400)=20. So we wa... you ought to pay him, it's the right thing to do. or at least half. ...From a performance standpoint, I would purchase a new rim, or better yet, a local bike shop might have a ream rim in their junk pile. Keep this thought in mind. As you travel the highways and trail... some bad luck leads you to do a noble deed.But you will take great pain to do it. ...Its a good start! For some building critism, you might not want to rhyme in that style(AABB) Try making it fancy like ABAB , ABCA, ABAB, or maybe ABCB. Hope that helped, -Dinah. ... |
