Bent Rims

It's inevitable. Bound to happen when you ride day after day of big rocks and at moderate speed.



  1. Removed the tire.
  2. A cresent wrench was used systematically moving from the outside-in to try and straighten it out. Take care to preserve the bead.
  3. File all burrs and deformed material.

I installed the Perrilli MT-21s to the rear, replacing a Maxxis 6006. It has probably been a little over 1,200 hard dirt miles since this change over to when I stopped riding on Sep 2nd.

...The tires are showing lots of wear. I suspect they will need to be replaced in January.
