So I dinged a rim yesterday. It’s not losing air but I want to make sure this isn’t the start of something worse. The little lip that is bent is paper thin. I could bend it back with some pliers or maybe by using a punch and hammer lightly. It is the factory rim on my ’15 570 touring. I’ve noticed that there are several scrapes on the other rims but this is the only one bent. Seems that these rims are fairly week. I guess in my future tire search a tire with rim guard may be a good idea. But anyways back to the rim at hand. So, nothing to worry about or time to look at rims? Only thing I’ve really looked at are the ITP Delta steel wheels simply for price but I may be willing to look at an alloy rim if weight differences are worth it. Thanks for any replys and best site for rims might not hurt either.
