[QUOTE="Flylooper, post: 450540, member: 904"] So, I'm changing a tire in the rear and go to balance it, only to discover the rim on one side is slightly bent i.e., there's a flat spot. I can't figure out whether I tightened down so hard with the claws on my HF tire changer or whether I did it hitting a bad bump. I tried beating it with a mallet but it isn't doing the job. It's hard to believe that I would have the strength to do something like that on the tire changer, using only my hand on the vise handle of the thing. And I can't remember hitting a bump so hard it would cause something like that to happen. Nevertheless, I don't think it represents a safety problem but it's noticeable enough to bother me and want to pay to get it fixed, if it can be done. Does anyone know of someone in the Northwest that does such repairs to moto wheels? I'm near Salem, Oregon. TIA... Bob [/QUOTE]
