I've flatted a mavic touring rim, am hoping a whack with hammer (via a piece of wood, spokes loosened) will sort it, guess I need to remove the tyre and support the rim either side on something solid (more wood) any comments?

what's the worst that could happen?
life is all about pro-longing death anyway, so why not save yourself some time

The 'senior mechanic in charge' at the workshop I work in is a great advocate of "rim servicing". Couple of blocks of wood and nylon hammer and yer good to go. Just check for any cracks before, during and after (especially around the eyelets and inside the well of the rim, and on the walls: ah screw it, just check everywhere.)

The rims fecked so you may as well give it a go. Dr Pepper moment, right…? 😉
