loganskinner Posted July 11, 2004 Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 this is an easy fix to a bent wheel. some of you probably know this, but i know that i sure didnt. so i had a small accident a few weeks back and my right front wheel was bent pretty bad. when i would ride, the damn thing would wobble like hell, and having no front fenders, seeing it was pretty scary. so i called up a local tire shop and asked if they could maybe pound it out or if i needed to get a new wheel. they told me to put a washer or two behind the rim, where it was bent the most in towards the bike. i took the tire off, put two washers behind the rim, bolted it back on and now it doesnt wobble at all. worked great for not costing anything. im still trying it out, riding slow and being careful, ill let you know how it works later, but for now, it seems to work perfect.
