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.
