Bent Rim

[450R NOOB]

My back right tire keeps popping off the rim and I figured out the rim is bent. is there a way to fix this or do I need to get another rim. Also, what causes this. I don't jump it but I ride through the woods and go through ruts pretty often.

You would be better off getting a straight used one. It's very easy to bend a rim, especially riding in the woods.

I got it sealed with some tire sealant so hopefully that'll last a while.

get a new one. Tire sealant is only a sticky mess and a headache in the future, if not already

The previous owner of my 400ex put tire slime in. The tire exploded and the stuff inside stained various parts from front to back lol What I want to know is how he popped a tire where the stuff would just splatter over everything.

Kinda changing this thread but it's better than a new one. Can someone explain how the sizes of rims and tires go together? My tires are artrax 20x11x9. I know on mud tires the last number is the wheel diameter. The tire is on a douglas rim that we measured 10x9. According to the tire it should be 9 right? I'm asking because I'm buying new rims but going to try and use the same tires as they are hardly worn.

20 - tall
11 - wide
9 - diameter

you need 9x9 wheels for that size tire. Stock rims is my suggestion.

Ok. Is the diameter measurement not from edge to edge on the rim? Why stock rims? Are they steel or at least stronger than other wheels.
