unless someone can hammer it out for you without any cracks appearing,
it's new rim time ! -

I just filed my rim down (haw haw) and watched it to make sure it didn't explode.
This is before.

Should I try a hammer first?

YES!
i have a dent on my rear which blows that one outtathewater,
I eventually took everything off then whacked it back,
its pretty ugly but im not worried about it -

use an adjustable wrench, tighten it on the bump and lever carefully back into line.
would leave hammering to last resort -

Tubs are for losers and pro teams. Anyway it's polybikeuser's problem now* :)
*I did make it clear to him that the rim was fuxxored.

Have a small dent on a Campag Zonda rim. Can only feel it only very faintly under braking. Leave alone, bend the dent back with a wrench or bin the wheel ?
Rides fine (apart from the very slight pulse under breaking), but worried about rim failure

Bin it, then let me know the location of the bin its in
Could I get some advice on fixing/replacing my rims.
Open pro's onto formula hubs. Went straight into a curb at night, stayed on but put a small dent in both wheels. Pretty pissed off!
Not an issue on rear as the wheel is still straight, but on the front I use a brake and it bumps every time it hits the lump on the rim.
Is there any chance I could fix it or would people recommend a new wheel (A new rim/build will cost me more than a second hand wheel i think).
I'm either looking for people to knowingly tell me the rim is fucked, or that I can simply fix the rim, or that they have a cheap front wheel (black open pro) that they'd like to sell me.
Cheers.
