[QUOTE="paste007, post: 641914, member: 683"] I'll try to post up a pic on Saturday, with the help of a friend who has a camera and is computer literate. To clarify, the rim is significantly bent, however, it would still roll, with a very loud noise every time the bent area passed the brake. Without using the brakes the bike slowed quickly due to the difficulty the bent area had in passing the brake, eventually completly stopping the bike. Once stopped and without the aid of the force generated by 60-65mph, the bike would not roll past the bent portion of the rim, either via pushing efforts or when winched up on the tow truck's bed, which resulted in it being dragged onto the truck bed. If the wheel had immediately and completely locked, it would not have been a pretty site. Also, please advise if you know where I can get a good deal on a new wheel. [/QUOTE]
