  • Bang that dent?

    Somehow I got a dent in the rim of the Jackalope wheel on my Trek Farley fat bike. No jumps or drops – Maybe 8 psi is just too low for me at 75kg.

    These are Aluminium rims – anybody know if they are happy having the dent knocked out, to avoid intermittent leaks. Or will I die?

    Also, any views on getting a Lite bike carbon fat rim as a replacement on the same hub?

    Pull it out with an adjustable spanner

    Yes, bend it out. Used to be common practice back in the day.
