Re: bent front rim

I had a flat spot on the front rim from crashing and it seemed to wobble when I let go of the handle bars. After a while I need a new front tire and put a new one on and now it rides great, no wobble. Is you tire pretty worn? maybe try changing that first, those rims can take alot of abuse.

Re: bent front rim

i bent a rim on my 929 at stuntwars into the rotors. I pounded it out with a hammer, in the process cracked the rim. JB welded the rim, still flatspot, rode on it for over a year like that without problems. Little headshake every now and then but it worked fine.
