slightly bent my rims

pezgoon · 08-28-2007, 01:55 PM

yup I was riding the other day and I put not a huge bulge but a significant one in my front tire and a slight one in my rear one alone with man other small dents(can put pictures if you want) i have a baja/zhiajin/xmoto x250 (baja buys em and slaps their name on it) and i do not know what the rims are made of and im gessing that either im low on air or I should've put alittle more pressure in because the railroad beds i was riding are not majorly rocky but there are a few, now my question is is there a way to fix em without getting new rims thanks

don't know who makes your bike... but those dents sound like you've been pounding it pretty hard. Is the wheel somewhat true? do you checked you spokes often? what pressure do you run in your?

Pictures would help, but without them it sounds like new rims are going to be in your future.

front tire

back tire

and there are a couple flat spots around it but very slight

I would probably try the old wood block and hammer to remove the bulge. Really can't make it worse.

ya thats what me and my dad were gonna do but we probably will use a deadblow hammer but we were gonna take the tire off and somehow hold it in a frame or such

I used a block of wood on a YZ rim. Worked pretty well.
