May 18, 200521 yr Ocassionally, riding as we do in the rocks etc. we come up with bent rim flanges. Dean has a pretty good one at the moment. Straightening with a hammer always seems to work harden and crack them prior to them getting where you want them. Straightening in the press is always a challenge to get it set up and held. I have had fairly good luck pulling them back into shape with a 15" crescent. I have also just left them alone and not had problems with them. Anyone have experience's good or bad about leaving them alone and maybe the pro's and con's of that?
May 18, 200521 yr My feeling has always been best to leave them alone unless they are causing a problem. As you are well aware, aluminum is not too happy about repeated bending.
