Re: Bent rimz
Is it loosing air?,causing wheel to hop @ high speed? how bad is it cuz I rode on a bent rim on a "03r1" (front) for 2 yrs w/ no prob-sum people would tell me how bad it looked from time to time but when I put new tires they had no problem balancing it. I dont think you can bend it back...or at least I've never heard of anyone doing it
