Title: how do i straighten a bent rim????
Post by: BADRAP08 on August 20, 2008, 09:09:30 PM

okay so yesterday rolled my quad :lol: :owned: too much gas on two wheels... got away from me and the rappy did a little ghost ride on the grab bar for about 20ft, hit a rock made a hard right and rolled over left side first, broke my clutch lever, bent the handlebars, bent the front left rim, trashed the rear grab bar and a few knicks and scrapes in the exhaust....so my question is how do i bend the rim back to shape? its been a muthafuka just trying to get the tire off of the bead :mad:

Any help is appreciated

Thanks

+1 good luck on that one. It will never be in round again. If you ride nasty trails keep it as a spare :thumbs:
