Need bent rim replaced


Frogmountain

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone. My DH got pitched off his bicycle by a man getting off a bus and bent the rim. The bike is now locked up at MBK Center and we're hoping to find a nearby repair shop so we don't have to push the bike a mile to Probike (we don't have a car). Please help! Thanks!

Rims are usually made of aluminium, unlikely any shop would bend them back, it would lead to structural problems within the rim, besides that i don't think bike shops have tools to do this kind of procedure. They will most likely need to be replaced, just take the wheel off the bike an go to a shop. You can also take the front wheel off and put the bike into a taxi, i've done it a few times, might need to ask a few before one takes you or offer some extra B for the hassle.
