Sorry I couldn't meet up with you guys last night. Had a change of plans, and had to get home and watch my kids.

On the way home I was leaned into a right hand turn, and hit a monster pothole. Bike didn't go down, but I bent my front rim.

Its holding air and I rode to work today. I'll keep my fingers crossed. Anyone know of where I can have it repaired?

Its holding air (rode to work today, and home and back for lunch!), just bent. Kind of leary about hitting any exciting speeds on it though.

I've got to find someone who can fix it.

Hammers, bungee cords, fix a flat, your all forgetting something........ DUCT TAPE. Its the cure all!!!

Seriously Id check ebay and see if you can find one on there otherwise try to bend it back but remember it holds air now and may not after a few good whacks. IF anyone should be scared about their front tire its TJ (get that fugger fixt)

I found a guy in Plymouth who will heat it and bend it back into shape. I'm heading to his shop right now to see how much $$. If not I have a few more leads locally.

Another shop http://www.framestraightsystem.com/index.htm, up in Armada. To damn far for me, but some of you live on that end of the world, right? $130 for any wheel repair, bends, cracks, welds, whatever. A guy I work with races with him, and supposedly he does great work. A little much for normal street riding though, I don't need those tight tolerances.
