Bent rim !

[2old2race]

So I nailed a huge rock with my new Baja IPD's this morning.
Tire is holding air. The ring is mostly unscathed, but the rim is twisted inward.

Any ideas on a remedy other than a rubber mallet?

Thanks!

Yea take rim off bike get a big screwdriver with big plastic handle and hold the other end and stand on top of wheel and place the handle on bend and hit the handle with some force until bend comes out this works verry good. if you do this right you cant see wher the dent was. oh yea wear gloves the vibration will kill your hands.

Thanks for the reply!
That is mostly what I was trying to do last night.
The only snafu, and a word of warning for future buyers of the baja rims, is that the fake bead lock makes it difficult to get to the rim.
I actually left the wheel on the quad and turned a rubber mallet upside down with the handle down inside the wheel.
Then I hit the mallet part with a larger rubber mallet.

I have seen a lot of wheels with flat spots that still appear to work fine. So, I guess mine should get by fine.
