Re: undenting front rim
I got the same thing i notice when i turn corners you can feel it from stalling out circles and smashing the rim. Dont think there is anyway to fix it.

i would just try to find another wheel. trying to beat it with a mallet you might just end up with more damage than you started with

Re: undenting front rim
I beat the **** out of mine with a 2x4 and a hammer i could fit my fist through the side broke the bead and everything.
